Programmatically create a new document based on a content type template

Question

As in the title, I need to programmatically create a new document based on a content type template. Does anyone know the best way to do this? Normally, to add files you use Web.Files.Add(), but all those overloads take a byte stream.

Answer 1

use this :

var tplurl = doclib.ContentTypes["MyContentType"].DocumentTemplateUrl;
byte[] stream = web.GetFile(tplurl).OpenBinary();

SPFile file = myFolder.Files.Add("myFileName", stream, true);
