In this post we will learn how to copy list items from one list to another list using Console Application Program.
I have created two Sharepoint sites, first is(source Site) http://URl/rf and the second(destination site) http://URl/rf
I have also created custom list in each site, Source List in site http://URl/rf and Desitination List in http://URl/rf
Create two custom lists Source List and destination List:
Source List Name "NewEmpMasterList" (below are columns and column types)
Employee Id (Single line of text)
Employee Name (Single line of text)
Stages (Choice),Department .Designation ,Date of joining ,Official email ID ,Date of birth , Approver Name ,Permanent address ,Address for communication.........................ext
Destination List "Exit EMP List" (below are columns and column types)
Employee Id (Single line of text)
Employee Name (Single line of text)
Stages (Choice),Department .Designation ,Date of joining ,Official email ID ,Date of birth , Approver Name ,Permanent address ,Address for communication.........................ext
After creating the two lists:
Here in this scenario I have chosen Console Application template because it doens’t contains any input fields to show as webpart and also to avoid GAC registration, safe controls etc., I felt it will be easy to execute the code in Console.
If you have Lookup column in your Source List and want to copy the same data in to Destination List, you have to create an instance for SPFieldLookupValue class like below.
Let’s suppose ‘Employee Name’ column is lookup field, comment or remove the line(string SEmpName = item["Employee Name"].ToString();) in the below code and replace with below code
SPFieldLookupValue SLookupEmpName = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["Employee Name"].ToString());
string SEmpName = SLookupEmpName.LookupId.ToString();
