Create sub site programmatically in SharePoint 2010 Author: Rashid Aziz

Sometime we require creating a sub site programmatically in code. Here is the simple way you can create a sub site programmatically.

(SPSite site = new SPSite(http://siteCollectionUrl))

  { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

        {try

            { web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

               //Create new web site

               SPWeb newWeb = site.AllWebs.Add("Site url", " Site name ", "Site description", 1033, {Name of the Site Template}, true, false); 

               newWeb.Update();

            }

            catch (Exception)  { }

            finally { web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; } 

             } }
