'Usage
Dim instance As SPViewCollection
Dim strViewName As String
Dim strCollViewFields As StringCollection
Dim strQuery As String
Dim iRowLimit As UInteger
Dim bPaged As Boolean
Dim bMakeViewDefault As Boolean
Dim returnValue As SPView

public SPView Add(
    string strViewName,
    StringCollection strCollViewFields,
    string strQuery,
    uint iRowLimit,
    bool bPaged,
    bool bMakeViewDefault
)

Parameters

• strViewName
  Type: System.String

  A string that contains the name of the view.

• strCollViewFields
  Type: System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection

  A collection that contains the internal names of the view fields.

• strQuery
  Type: System.String

  A Collaborative Application Markup Language string that contains the Where clause for the query.

• iRowLimit
  Type: System.UInt32

  The maximum number of items to return in the view. Specifying a value greater than Int32.MaxValue (2,147,483,647 or hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF) throws an exception because the value is out of range.

• bPaged
  Type: System.Boolean

  true to specify that the view supports displaying more items page by page; otherwise, false.

• bMakeViewDefault
  Type: System.Boolean

  true to make the view the default view; otherwise, false.

Return value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPView
The new view.

Examples

The following code example creates a view that returns items where the value of a field equals a specified text value.

Dim siteCollection As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context)
Dim site As SPWeb = siteCollection.AllWebs("Site_Name")
Dim list As SPList = site.Lists("List_Name")
Dim views As SPViewCollection = list.Views

Dim viewName As String = "View_Name"

Dim viewFields As New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection()

viewFields.Add("Field1_Name")
viewFields.Add("Field2_Name")
viewFields.Add("Field3_Name")

Dim query As String = "<Where><Eq>
        <FieldRef Name='<iterm>Field3_Name</iterm>'/>" _ 
    & "<Value Type='Text'><iterm>Text</iterm></Value></Eq></Where>"

views.Add(viewName, viewFields, query, 100, True, False)

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
using (SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Website_Name"])
{
    SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
    SPViewCollection collViews = oList.Views;
    string strViewName = "View_Name";
    System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection collViewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
    collViewFields.Add("Field1_Name");
    collViewFields.Add("Field2_Name");
    collViewFields.Add("Field3_Name");
    string strQuery = "<Where><Lt><FieldRef Name=\"Field3_Name\"/>" +
    "<Value Type=\"Integer\">1000</Value></Lt></Where>";

    collViews.Add(strViewName, collViewFields, strQuery, 100, true, false,
    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Grid, false);
}
