SPContext.Current.Site.Sites object throws an Argument Exception.

Question

Hi,

I have a requirement.

I need to traverse through all the site and subsites URLs under a particular site collection and Put all the URLs in a List in another site collection  prgramatically. Please help. Actually I used the below code snippet to achieve but faced an issue like:  SPWebCollection sites = siteCollection.AllWebs returns Argument exception.

SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["RegisteredIPipeSites"];

            foreach (SPSite siteCollection in siteCollections)
            {
                SPWebCollection sites = siteCollection.AllWebs;
                foreach (SPWeb site in sites)
                {
                    SPListItem listitem = list.AddItem();
                    listitem["SiteCollectionURL"] = siteCollection.Url;
                    listitem["SiteURL"] = site.Url;
                    listitem.Update();                   
                }               
            }

Answer 1

Have you tried using

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{

SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["RegisteredIPipeSites"];

            foreach (SPSite siteCollection in siteCollections)
            {
                SPWebCollection sites = siteCollection.AllWebs;
                foreach (SPWeb site in sites)
                {
                    SPListItem listitem = list.AddItem();
                    listitem["SiteCollectionURL"] = siteCollection.Url;
                    listitem["SiteURL"] = site.Url;
                    listitem.Update();                    
                }                
            } 

});

Still no luck. I tried an alternate way as below. I am able to see my all site collections in side "this.WebApplication.Sites" object but it is traversing only one site collection. System is not traversing over all the site collection. Any idea?

 SPSiteCollection _sites = this.WebApplication.Sites;

            foreach (SPSite site in this.WebApplication.Sites)
            {
                try
                {
                    SPWebCollection subSites = site.AllWebs;

                    for (int i = 0; i < subSites.Count; i++)
                    {
                        SPListCollection lists = subSites[i].Lists;

                        for (int j = 0; j < lists.Count; j++)
                        {
                            //SPListItem listitem = list.AddItem();
                            //listitem["SiteCollectionURL"] = "";
                            //listitem["SiteURL"] = subSites[i].Title.ToString();
                            //listitem.Update(); 
                        }
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                }
                finally
                {
                    site.Dispose();
                }
            }

Hi,

To return the collection of site collections in a SharePoint Web application, use below code:

SPWebApplication webApplication = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication;
SPSiteCollection siteCollections = webApplication.Sites;

foreach (SPSite siteCollection in siteCollections)
{
    /////
}

Check this MSDN to get site/subsite/list/: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms462161.aspx

Hope it could help

>System traverse only one site collection even thoush the collection shows all the site collection

What do you mean by site collection show all site collection? Did you verify the site collection in central admin for web application? Go to CA-->Manage web application -->and check how many site collections are existing for your web app.

Bit confusion here so kindly correct us
