Examples

The following code example uses the Add method to copy a file from a document library to the Shared Documents folder of every subsite under a specified Web site. If a file of the same name already exists, the Add method throws an exception.

Dim SiteCollection As New SPSite("http://MySiteCollection")
Try
    Dim webSite As SPWeb = siteCollection.AllWebs("MyWebSite")
    Dim destSites As SPWebCollection = webSite.Webs

    Dim srcFile As SPFile = webSite.GetFile("MyDocLib/MyFile")

    Dim destSite As SPWeb
    For Each destSite In  destSites
        Dim destFolder As SPFolder = destSite.GetFolder("Shared Documents")
        Dim destFiles As SPFileCollection = destFolder.Files

        Dim destURL As String = destFolder.Url + "/" + srcFile.Name
        Dim binFile As Byte() = srcFile.OpenBinary()

        destFiles.Add(destURL, binFile)
    Next destSite
Finally
    SiteCollection.Dispose()
End Try
using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
{
    using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["MyWebSite"])
    {
        SPWebCollection collWebsites = oWebsite.Webs;
        SPFile oFile = oWebsite.GetFile("MyDocLib/MyFile");
        foreach (SPWeb oWebsiteNext in collWebsites)
        {
            SPFolder oFolder = oWebsiteNext.GetFolder("Shared Documents");
            SPFileCollection collFiles = oFolder.Files;

            string strDestUrl = oFolder.Url + "/" + oFile.Name;
            byte[] binFile = oFile.OpenBinary();
            collFiles.Add(strDestUrl, binFile);

            oWebsiteNext.Dispose();
        }
    }
}
