SPView change columns programmatically

Asked By: Marcella Rojas Date: Oct 08, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 1276

I created a little webpart and use ToolPaneView=2 to place it on the
list page of the view in which I am attempting to edit. It lets you
choose which columns should be shown. When using view.ViewFields.Delete
(col name) then view.Update() nothing happens to the view even after
refreshes. Can I not programmatically edit the views that are created
using the built in form?

If I’m reading this correctly you’re changing a view after a ListViewWebPart has been created from it. If that’s the case then there’s a special hidden view that it’s using to display the data. If you can get to that view you should be able to update the display. You can get the DWP for a ListViewWebPart (it’s broken in the user interface but not from the API). From there you can extract the GUID for the view that it uses.

The views that are created are based upon the underlying list definition
in the site definition. I believe that most of these lists are hot spots
in the list definition. So, you should be able to immediately see (after
an iisreset) any change you make to the built-in views.
