PublishingWeb.InheritAvailableWebTemplates Method

Sets the available web templates on this PublishingWeb to be inherited from the parent PublishingWeb.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub InheritAvailableWebTemplates
'Usage
Dim instance As PublishingWeb

instance.InheritAvailableWebTemplates()

public void InheritAvailableWebTemplates()

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
[System.InvalidOperationException]	The root site cannot inherit properties.

Remarks

After calling this method, the GetAvailableWebTemplates() method returns the same set of Web templates that are specified in the parent PublishingWeb class. The IsInheritingAvailableWebTemplates property is true. The IsAllowingAllWebTemplates property returns the same value as the parent PublishingWeb class.

Calling this method on the root site is not supported and results in an error.

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.
