How to deal with URL fields in SharePoint Lists programmatically

Posted Wednesday, October 24, 2007 4:17 PM by Itay Shakury

What seems to be a simple task has very little examples on the web.

This is one quick way:

//Assuming You have an SPWeb object called "web"
SPList list = web.Lists["YourList"];  //Get a list
SPListItem item = list.Items[0]; //Get an item
item["Link Field"] = "http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk, itaysk"; //equivalent to <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk" mce_href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk"> itaysk </a>
item.Update();

What do we learn? That the URL is stored as a string that contains both the URL it's display text, seperated by a comma.

This is not best practice. See code sample below:

SPList list = web.Lists["Links"];

SPListItem newLink = list.Items.Add();

SPFieldUrlValue value = new SPFieldUrlValue();

value.Description = "test";

value.Url = "www.microsoft.com/sharepoint";

newLink["URL"] = value;

newLink.Update();

Okay. this may be a stupid question but I'm trying to create a cusom action which navigates to a sharepoint url.  I want to insert a field value into the url.   So for example I will be pointing to the URL: sharepointsiet/.../EditForm.aspx[AND HERE IS WHERE I WANT TO INSERT THE FIELD VALUE FROM ANOTHER LIST]

Any ideas?

when I use SPFieldUrlValue I am not getting the Link text I am getting following output :

pni6w1162/.../Insight XT Documents/PRT-00001/PRT-00001_AA, PRT-00001_AA

where I expect "PRT-00001_AA" should be displayed & when user clicks on "PRT-00001_AA" it should redirect to corresponding URL.

Any help ?
