Parameters
strViewName
Type: System.StringA string that contains the name of the view.
strCollViewFields
Type: System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollectionA collection that contains the internal names of the view fields.
strQuery
Type: System.StringA Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) string that contains the Where clause for the query.
iRowLimit
Type: System.UInt32The maximum number of items to return in the view. Specifying a value greater than Int32.MaxValue (2,147,483,647 or hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF) throws an exception because the value is out of range.
bPaged
Type: System.Booleantrue to specify that the view supports displaying more items page by page; otherwise, false.
bMakeViewDefault
Type: System.Booleantrue to make the view the default view; otherwise, false.
type
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPViewCollection.SPViewTypeAn enumeration value that specifies the type of view.
bPersonalView
Type: System.Booleantrue to create a personal view; false to create a public view.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPView
The new view.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |

Examples
The following code example creates a Grid view and displays items where a field value is less than 1,000.
Dim siteCollection As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context)
Dim site As SPWeb = siteCollection.AllWebs("Site_Name")
Dim list As SPList = site.Lists("List_Name")
Dim views As SPViewCollection = list.Views
Dim viewName As String = "View_Name"
Dim viewFields As New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection()
viewFields.Add("Field1_Name")
viewFields.Add("Field2_Name")
viewFields.Add("Field3_Name")
Dim query As String = "<Where><Lt><FieldRef Name='<iterm>Field3_Name</iterm>'/>" _
& "<Value Type='Integer'>1000</Value></Lt></Where>"
views.Add(viewName, viewFields, query, 100, True, False, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Grid, False)
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
using (SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Website_Name"])
{
SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
SPViewCollection collViews = oList.Views;
string strViewName = "View_Name";
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection collViewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
collViewFields.Add("Field1_Name");
collViewFields.Add("Field2_Name");
collViewFields.Add("Field3_Name");
string strQuery = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"Field3_Name\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">Text</Value></Eq></Where>";
collViews.Add(strViewName, collViewFields, strQuery, 100, true, false);
}
