SharePoint Root Site name show

Question

I have a SharePoint site collection. The root Web of the site collection has the URL http://intranet.com. I plan to create a user solution that will contain a Web Part. The Web Part will display the title of the root Web.

I wrote the following code segment for the Web Part.

SPSite currentSite = new SPSite("http://intranet.com");

Label currentTitle = new Label();

currentTitle.Text = currentSite.RootWeb.Title;

I added the Web Part to a page in the root Web and receive the following error message: "Web Part Error:Unhandled exception was thrown by the sandboxed code wrapper's Execute method in the partial trust app domain: An unexpected error has occurred."

What should I do? :(

Answer 1

In a sandboxed solution you can only access the current site collection, not one specified by URL.

To get the title of the RootWeb of the current site collection use:

currentTitle.Text = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Title;
