Adding SPListItem using SPWeb.ProcessBatchData method

Question

I am looking for adding SPListItem using SPWeb.ProcessBatchData method. Could any one please help me on syntax for adding list item to my custom list.

Answer 1

if you want to use SPWeb.ProcessBatchData method then follow this tutorial,

Inserting New Items to List using ProcessBatchData

why you must have to use "ProcessBatchData" when you can easily get SPWeb.GetList(siteURL) method to get list and add items to it.

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace Test
{
   class ConsoleApp
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost/sites/sitecollection"))
         {
            using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("sitecollection/subsite"))
            {
               string listUrl = "/sites/sitecollection/subsite/Lists/Announcements";
               SPList list = web.GetList(listUrl);
               Console.WriteLine("List URL: {0}", list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl);
               SPListItem oSPListItem = list.Items.Add();
               oSPListItem["Title"] = "Hello SharePoint";
               oSPListItem.Update();
            }
         }
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}
