Beautiful point on document library in SharePoint 2010

Here we will see what will happen when we create a list or a document library inside a site. You may create a list using the browser or you may create a list using SharePoint 2010 server object model.

Here it is:

Whenever you will create a document library SharePoint creates a folder with same name as the document library at the root of the web site.

Then it creates another folder with name Forms. And SharePoint creates a set of site pages like DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, AllItems.aspx, and Upload.aspx inside the Forms folder. This pages are required to add and manage content for that document library.

This site pages can be accessible using SharePoint object model using the SPFile class like below:

SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web;

SPFile sitepageAllItems = site.GetFile("[Document Library Folder Name]/Forms/AllItems.aspx");

SPFile class has different methods like Delete, MoveTo, CopyTo methods to work with site pages. Suppose by using Delete method you can delete the site page from the site.
