SharePoint Server Object Model Programming allows you to write code and communicates with SharePoint objects if you are inside the SharePoint context. It provides a set of classes which is executed at the server-side. Server Object Model Programming is the same in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint 2013 Server Object Model
In this blog, I will demonstrate the Server Object Model (SOM) programming in SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2015. You can use the Server object model in a console application, windows form and other ASP.Net Applications.
In the SharePoint Server Object Model it is necessary to reference Microsoft.SharePoint dll in the working project. You can implement a SOM model in a system only if the SharePoint Server is installed.
You may find Microsoft.SharePoint dll in Windows Drive in my case it is C:
C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions15ISAPI
Below is the list of classes used in the SharePoint Server Object Model
- SPFarm
- SPWeb
- SPSite
- SPList
- SPNavigationNode
- SPUser
- SPWebApplication

SharePoint 2013 Server Object Model with Examples
Below code snippet will give you current Farm details.
SPFarm objFarm = SPFarm.Local; long farmVersion = objFarm.Version; Guid farmID = objFarm.Id; SPObjectStatus farmStatus = objFarm.Status; Console.WriteLine(“Farm Version is:” + farmVersion); Console.WriteLine(“Farm ID is:” + farmID); Console.WriteLine(“Farm Status is:” + farmStatus); Console.ReadKey(); |
Below code snippet will create a site in your web application.
SPSite objSite = new SPSite(“http://localhost:1000”); SPWebApplication objWebApp = objSite.WebApplication; objWebApp.Sites.Add(“/sites/demosite”, “Demo Site”, “This is a demosite”, 1033, “STS#0”, @”corpadministrator”, “Administrator”, “administrator@corp.sharepointcafe.net”); Console.ReadKey(); |
Below code snippet will add a link in top navigation and quick launch
SPSite objSite = new SPSite(“http://localhost:1000”); SPWeb objWeb = objSite.RootWeb.Webs[“”];//leave it empty and run the code. SPNavigationNode objNode = new SPNavigationNode(“SharePointCafe Blog”, “http://sharepointcafe.net”, true); objWeb.Navigation.QuickLaunch.AddAsFirst(objNode); objWeb.Navigation.TopNavigationBar.AddAsFirst(objNode); Console.WriteLine(“Task Done”); Console.ReadKey(); |
