Update Document ID Prefix Settings Through Code

We faced a scenario where we need to update the prefix for document Id settings for more numbers of site collection in SharePoint Site through code. After some investigation, I figured out the code and thought of sharing it. Here is the code:

Using C# code

  • Add the following references.

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
    • Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.dll

  • Add the following namespaces.

    • Using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    • Using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement; 
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Text;  
  5. using Microsoft.SharePoint;  
  6. using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement;  
  7. namespace ConsoleAppChangeDocPrefix   
  8. {  
  9.     class Program  
  10.     {  
  11.         static void Main(string[] args)  
  12.         {  
  13.             SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName:2085/");  
  14.             DocumentId.SetDefaultProvider(site);  
  15.             DocumentId.EnableAssignment(site, "sivaprefix", true, true, true, false);  
  16.             site.Dispose();  
  17.         }  
  18.     }  
  19. }
