I think I should be using the ServerRelativeUrl property of SPWeb but am not
sure how.
I've tried to append the parent site path to the new web's name and now get
this bizarre error:
"/AboutUs" contains leading or trailing slash, which is invalid
Maybe I should just give up and do this via the template XML but this seemed so
much more elegant.
Code variation below:
private void CreateSubsites(PublishingWeb currentPublishingSite)
{
if (currentPublishingSite.IsRoot)
{
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
{
// Inherit LCID from parent
uint webLCID = Convert.ToUInt32(siteCollection.RootWeb.Locale.LCID);
// Get parent web relative URL
string parentWeb = siteCollection.ServerRelativeUtl;
string webUrl = parentWeb + "AboutUs";
// webUrl, Title, Description, LCID, Template, UniquePerms,
bConvertIfThere
using (SPWeb newSite =
siteCollection.RootWeb.Webs.Add(webUrl, "About Us", "More information about
this site.", webLCID, _siteTemplateNamePrefix, false, false))
{
// Perform additional customisations here
}
}
}
}
}

Thanks Joe. The following works nicely. :)
//Inherit LCID from parent
uint webLCID = Convert.ToUInt32(siteCollection.RootWeb.Locale.LCID);
Now I have one more small problem.
The Web site address "/AboutUs" is already in use.
Which is true, if you're talking about the web application root site
collection. However, I only want to get the parent site of the web I'm trying
to create. Looks like I'm heading too high up the hierarchy.
I'm currently creating the parent at a managed path "teams/newsite". And want
the subsite to be created at "teams/newsite/AboutUs".
Can I do this without having to use explicit paths?

Oh, of course. Sorry for missing that the LCID is explicitly unsigned in the
Add method :-).
You should be able to use Convert.ToUInt32 on the LCID property, instead of
trying to convert to ToString() representation of the Locale.
Cheers,
Joe.

I tried using it directly first time round which is how I wound up stuck with
messy conversions. :)
Error 1 The best overloaded method match for
'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWebCollection.Add(string, string, string, uint, string,
bool, bool)' has some invalid arguments
Error 2 Argument '4': cannot convert from 'int' to 'uint'

SPWeb.Locale returns a
CultureInfo<http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/kx54z3k7> object, so you
should be able to pass the
LCID<http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo.lcid>
property from this straight into the add method.
eg:
siteCollection.Add("foo", "foo", "bar", siteCollection.RootWeb.Locale.LCID);

OK. Almost there using siteCollection.RootWeb.Locale but now I'm having trouble
with converting the value.
The following will build without error but just looks plain wrong. Does anyone
know what type of field I'm dealing with?
//Inherit LCID from parent
string LCID = siteCollection.RootWeb.Locale.ToString();
uint webLCID = Convert.ToUInt32(LCID);

Subject: SPWebCollection Add Method
Hi all,
I'm trying to provision a subsite using this method and am stuck on the nLCID
parameter.
The API states a 32-bit GUID is required but I can't find one! :)
I want to inherit from the parent Site which uses English-AU but am not sure if
I'm getting it properly.
Will the following work?
if (currentPublishingSite.IsRoot)
{
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
{
//Inherit LCID from parent
uint webLCID = SPSite.Language;
// webUrl, Title, Description, LCID, Template, UniquePerms,
bConvertIfThere
using (SPWeb newSite =
siteCollection.RootWeb.Webs.Add("AboutUs", "About Us", "More information about
this site.", webLCID, _siteTemplateNamePrefix, false, false))
{
// Perform additional customisations here
}
}
}
}
Kind regards,
Paul Noone
