PublishingWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts Method
Returns the PageLayout objects available for creating PublishingPage objects within this PublishingWeb.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing (in Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function GetAvailablePageLayouts As PageLayout()
'Usage
Dim instance As PublishingWeb
Dim returnValue As PageLayout()
returnValue = instance.GetAvailablePageLayouts()
public PageLayout[] GetAvailablePageLayouts()
Return Value
Type: []
An array of PageLayouts available for creating PublishingPage objects within this PublishingWeb object.
Remarks
The available PageLayout objects returned by this method may be inherited from a parent PublishingWeb object, as indicated by the property IsInheritingAvailablePageLayouts.
Use the GetAvailablePageLayouts(SPContentTypeId) method to return a subset of the PageLayout objects filtered by the AssociatedContentType property ID.
Use the methods PageLayouts(), AllowAllPageLayouts(), and InheritAvailablePageLayouts to modify the set of PageLayout objects returned by this method.
Examples
This example restricts the set of available page layouts used for creating pages in a publishing Web so that only page layouts associated with a specified content type are available.
Before using this example, verify that the associatedContentTypeId parameter is from a content type on the root Web of the site.
