I am adding an XsltListViewWebPart from code behind, my code is:

        static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SPSite site = new SPSite("http://bipc11:1234/sites/publishing1");
        SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
        SPLimitedWebPartManager webParts = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(web.Url + "/SiteAssets/webparts.aspx", System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
        SPList list = web.Lists["Images"];
        XsltListViewWebPart webPart = new XsltListViewWebPart();
        webPart.ListId = list.ID;
        webPart.XslLink = web.Url + "/Style Library/Custom View/ViewCart.xsl";
        webParts.AddWebPart(webPart, "Right", 0);
        webParts.SaveChanges(webPart);
        web.Update();
        Console.WriteLine("Web Part Added Successfully");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

Images is the library in which pictures are stored and the path web.Url +"/Style Library/Custom View/ViewCart.xsl specifies the copy of file AssetPicker.xsl which renders data in thumbnail view.

My problem is that webpart displays this output instead of displaying this.

What am I missing?

If you think right view is not included in the XsltListViewWebPart, then you can get the instance of the correct view and add it to the webpart:

SPView view = list.Views["Thumbnails"];
webPart.ViewId= view.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper()

  • Thanks sir, but I want to make some changes in the view i.e. I want to put small icon before each image title. So, if I modify the view it will be applied to all libraries, that's why I copied the AssetPicker file.

  • Am I following right way? @Nadeem Yousuf

  • The view is associated to a single list/library. Modifying it wont have any impact on other libraries/lists in the site.

  • Ok, I tried your code but it throws error that webPart.ViewId is int and view.ID is of type Guid

  • Then I tried other way like : webPart.ViewGuid=list.Views["Thumbnails"].ID.ToString(); but it shows error that "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" at the line of adding the web part from web part manager.
