'Declaration
Public Class SPDocumentLibrary _
    Inherits SPList
'Usage
Dim instance As SPDocumentLibrary

public class SPDocumentLibrary : SPList

To obtain an SPDocumentLibrary object, cast the given list as a document library, as shown in the following example.

Dim documentLibrary As SPDocumentLibrary = CType(list, SPDocumentLibrary)

SPDocumentLibrary oDocumentLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)oList;

The following code example iterates through all the sites and their lists and, excluding catalogs or form libraries, displays the name of the site and list, as well as the file name, for each item in every document library.

The example assumes the existence of an .aspx page that contains a label control.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.
