Programmatically create an item inside the folder in SharePoint list

I have a custom list named “Custom”. In the custom list I have a folder named "2012". I need to add an item inside the folder "2012".

In this blog you will see how to create item inside folder in list using SharePoint Object Model.

Code Snippet:

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Collections;
 
namespace AddItem
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName/sites/Vijai/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Custom");
                    if (list != null)
                    {
                        foreach (SPListItem item in list.Folders)
                        {
                            if (item.Title == "2012")
                            {
                                SPListItem newItem = list.AddItem(item.Folder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.File);
                                newItem["Title"] = "Item1";
                                newItem.Update();
                            }
                        }                       
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
 


An item called "Item1" is added successfully inside "2012" folder in "Custom" list.
