programmatically get IDs of list from urls
Question
Is it possible to retrieve the ID of a list or library with a url?
For example, http://MyPortal/MySubsite/MyDocuments/Forms/AllItems.aspx
If so, please provide me with some sample code.
Many thanks,
KS
Solution
SharePoint is extremely large about the Url we pass it so even though the url isn't really to the site or to the list (but to a view) both constructor for SPSite and SPWeb.GetList accepts it:
using (var site = new SPSite(url))
using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
{
var list = web.GetList(url);
// ID is now in list.ID;
}
