SPList has no default URL Property

Hey guys,

if you working with SPList object be aware of this. If you create a List over C# you only submit a name. But if the name of the List is too long then the url will be truncated.

So you need access to a URL Property to get the right reference to the list!

There are several methods:

1. Access Url over RootFolder property

list = elevatedWeb.Lists[listname];

listUrl = list.RootFolder.Url;

 

2. Access Url over Forms Property

SPList list = elevatedWeb.Lists[listname];

listUrl = list.Forms["PAGETYPE.PAGE_EDITFORM"].ServerRelativeUrl

 

3. Write Extenstion Methods for SharePoint

Another Method is to extend the SPList object by writing Extensions Methods. This is described here, many thanks to Adam Buenz
