Programmatically Check in\Check out documents in Sharepoint 2010

In this post we will see an example of how to check out and check in one or all the documents in a SharePoint 2010 document library programmatically. I have created a console application to the task using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.SharePoint; namespace CheckinCheckoutDemo { class MyDemo { static void Main(string[] args) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://SPSite”)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPDocumentLibrary docs = (SPDocumentLibrary)web.Lists["Mydocumentlibrary"]; -> Your Document library name foreach (SPFile file in docs.RootFolder.Files) { if (file.CheckOutType == SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None) { file.CheckOut(); -> Checking out the file } } // Getting the above Checked Out file. foreach (SPCheckedOutFile file in docs.CheckedOutFiles) { Console.WriteLine(file.LeafName); -> Writing names of checked out files } // Check in and add a comment. foreach (SPFile file in docs.RootFolder.Files) { if (file.CheckOutType != SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None) { file.CheckIn(“Programmatically Checked In”); -> checking In and adding a comment } }}}
