How do you programmatically upload a file to a document library in sharepoint?
I am currently making a Windows application using C# that will add documents to a document library list.

You can upload documents to SharePoint libraries using the Object Model or SharePoint Webservices.
Upload using Object Model:
String fileToUpload = @"C:\YourFile.txt";
String sharePointSite = "http://yoursite.com/sites/Research/";
String documentLibraryName = "Shared Documents";
using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))
{
using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
{
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))
throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", fileToUpload);
SPFolder myLibrary = oWeb.Folders[documentLibraryName];
// Prepare to upload
Boolean replaceExistingFiles = true;
String fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload);
FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload);
// Upload document
SPFile spfile = myLibrary.Files.Add(fileName, fileStream, replaceExistingFiles);
// Commit
myLibrary.Update();
}
}
As an alternative to the webservices, you can use the put document call from the FrontPage RPC API. This has the additional benefit of enabling you to provide meta-data (columns) in the same request as the file data. The obvious drawback is that the protocol is a bit more obscure (compared to the very well documented webservices).
For a reference application that explains the use of Frontpage RPC, see the SharePad project on CodePlex.
try
{
//Variablen für die Verarbeitung
string source_file = @"C:\temp\offer.pdf";
string web_url = "https://stackoverflow.sharepoint.com";
string library_name = "Documents";
string admin_name = "admin@stackoverflow.com";
string admin_password = "Password";
//Verbindung mit den Login-Daten herstellen
var sercured_password = new SecureString();
foreach (var c in admin_password) sercured_password.AppendChar(c);
SharePointOnlineCredentials credent = new
SharePointOnlineCredentials(admin_name, sercured_password);
//Context mit Credentials erstellen
ClientContext context = new ClientContext(web_url);
context.Credentials = credent;
//Bibliothek festlegen
var library = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(library_name);
//Ausgewählte Datei laden
FileStream fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(source_file);
//Dateinamen aus Pfad ermitteln
string source_filename = Path.GetFileName(source_file);
//Datei ins SharePoint-Verzeichnis hochladen
FileCreationInformation fci = new FileCreationInformation();
fci.Overwrite = true;
fci.ContentStream = fs;
fci.Url = source_filename;
var file_upload = library.RootFolder.Files.Add(fci);
//Ausführen
context.Load(file_upload);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Datenübertragen schließen
fs.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Fehler");
throw;
}
I used this article to allow to c# to access to a sharepoint site.
http://www.thesharepointguide.com/access-office-365-using-a-console-application/
Basically you create a ClientId and ClientSecret keys to access to the site with c#
Hope this can help you!
