move or delete webpart that comes with default.aspx page

Question

I am using Parentweb.Webs.Add to add subsite. However the default.aspx comes with sharepoint log which I dont need. Also I need to move the announce webpart zone to the right. And delete calendar webpart. How do I do this programatically (not sharepoint designer)? I like to modify the page right after the creating the subsite.

Answer 1

If you interrogate the SPWebPartManager for that page once it's been provisioned, you can mess around with the web parts on the page.

Answer 2

Now no errors with this code but It does not move the webpart to right side.

using (SPLimitedWebPartManager wpm = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(file.ServerRelativeUrl, PersonalizationScope.Shared))
            {
                List webparts = new List();


            foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart webpart in wpm.WebParts)
            {
                if (webpart.Title == "Announcements")
                {
                    wpm.MoveWebPart(webpart, "RighColumn", 2);
                }

            }

            //wpm.MoveWebPart(wpm.WebParts["Announcements"], webpartzone, 1);
        }

Answer 3

You could create a new Site Template with the exact layout you need and provision your new site from that template.
