PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb Method

Retrieves an instance of the PublishingWeb that wraps the specified SPWeb object.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing (in Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function GetPublishingWeb ( _
    web As SPWeb _
) As PublishingWeb
'Usage
Dim web As SPWeb
Dim returnValue As PublishingWeb

returnValue = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web)
public static PublishingWeb GetPublishingWeb(
    SPWeb web
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb
A PublishingWeb instance which wraps the SPWeb class.

Remarks

Use this method in order to access PublishingWeb behavior for an instance of a SPWeb class that has already been retrieved. You can also retrieve instances of the PublishingWeb class through the GetPublishingWebs method.

Before you use this method, check the IsPublishingWeb method to confirm that publishing behavior is supported on this instance of the SPWeb class. If publishing is not supported on the SPWeb, then the methods and properties of the PublishingWeb wrapper may behave unexpectedly.

It is up to the caller of this method to close the instance of the SPWeb class that was passed in by calling the SPWeb.Close method. Calling the PublishingWeb.Close method has no effect.

Examples

This example demonstrates setting and saving property values on a publishing Web. Before building and running this example, verify that Publishing feature has been enabled for the SPWeb, and that the defaultPageFileId is SPFile.UniqueId for the new default page.
