I need to create an item in a SharePoint list using Lists.UpdateListItems web service. I have created a batch method and populate it with these fields.

<Field Name="ContentType">Document</Field>
<Field Name="FileLeafRef">??????</Field>
<Field Name="Title">Doc1</Field>
<Field Name="LookupColumn"></Field>

I don't know how the FileLeafRef format looks like. when i write Doc1.txt for example, the service returns an error.

Any one has an idea.

Thank you for your help.

The FileLeafRef must contain the full path to the document.

But keep in mind that creating new documents in a doclib using Lists.UpdateListItems is not possible ([citation needed] && as far as i know)

  • Are you sure that the FileLeafRef must contain the full path of the document? Can you provide me a link that describes and explains the FileLeafRef field? – user3470 Aug 19 '11 at 18:55
  • Hmmmz, The examples I found use FileRef instead of FileLeafRef. The examples on MSDN use it: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… and here also the full path is used: stackoverflow.com/questions/1372971/… – Dribbel Aug 19 '11 at 19:12

Maybe im wrong here, but i thought FileLeafRef only was used when query for items and not needed when creating them.

  • I need to set the item name. what field type should i choose? – user3470 Aug 19 '11 at 7:16
  • What do you mean with the item name, the Title? Check out: geekswithblogs.net/WayneMagnum/archive/2008/03/27/… maybe its to some help :) – Anders Aune Aug 19 '11 at 7:23
  • No i need the name that is displayed when the user view the list. If i don't set it the created item name will be his id plus underscore dot three zeros (ex: 99_.000) and the display will be 99_ – user3470 Aug 19 '11 at 7:29
  • The document name yes, now im following. If i remember correctly the internal name is BaseName for the Name field – Anders Aune Aug 19 '11 at 7:43
  • I tried it and got this error: 0x80070057 Bad parameter passed to Web Server Extensions. Check the information you entered and try again. – user3470 Aug 19 '11 at 7:46
