Sharepoint 2010 Programmatically adding custom List view with rating column on page does'nt display the rating stars

Question

I am trying to create a new custom list view with rating column in it and adding that view on page  as a list view webpart.

List view is getting added on the page but ratings stars are not visible on the page.

When I am editing the webpart from UI and modify the view and saving that view without doing any changes it starts showing the ratings starts.

Answer 1

Is it any custom column type you have created ?

No, I am using out of the box Rating column. I am just enabling the rating feature on list and adding list view webpart on my home page using the defualt view of the list which is having the rating field too.

Hey,

This code will help work for you

 private void averagerating(SPWeb web)
        {
            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
            SPList list1 = web.Lists["List Name"];
 
            string averagerating = web.Fields.Add("Average Rating", SPFieldType.Calculated,false);
            SPFieldCalculated average = (SPFieldCalculated)web.Fields["Average Rating"];
            string abc = average.InternalName;

            average.Formula = @"=[Rating (0-5)]";
            average.OutputType = SPFieldType.Number;
            average.Update();
     
            
            SPField field1 = web.AvailableFields["Average Rating"];
            
            if (!list1.Fields.ContainsField("Average Rating"))
            {
                list1.Fields.Add(field1);
                
            }
                     
            list1.Update();
           
           SPView view1 = list1.DefaultView;
       
          
            view1.ViewFields.DeleteAll();
           
         
            view1.ViewFields.Add("Rating (0-5)");
            view1.ViewFields.Add("Average Rating");
                     

            web.Update();
            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
            
        
        }

@Ravi , I am able to add rating column and can see them in default view of list. My main issue is that when I  add a listview webpart programatically using default view of list on my home page , stars are not visible and user is not able to rate the content.
