Answer 1

Laura Rogers has a blog post about using different folder content types to display views, perhaps this may help you in setting up the subFolder's content type...

Answer 2

This got resloved.

Previous Code:

Dim CurContentFolder As SPFolder = rootFolder.SubFolders.Add (ObjectsChars.assign_mapchar2objects(folderPathSplit(DocLibCount))) CurContentFolder.Item(SPBuiltInFieldId.ContentTypeId) = curWeb.ContentTypes("Folder").Id CurContentFolder.Item.SystemUpdate()

Modifed Code:

Dim CurContentFolder As SPFolder = rootFolder.SubFolders.Add(ObjectsChars.assign_mapchar2objects(folderPathSplit(DocLibCount))) Dim newItem As SPListItem = CurContentFolder.Item newItem("Content Type") = "Folder" newItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion() newItem.SystemUpdate()

Thanks for all to help Me. Shiva Reddy.P
