Examples

The following code example uses the SiteGroups property to return the collection of groups for the current site collection, and also displays the name of each group.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Microsoft Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.

Using webSite As SPWeb = SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb("Site_Name")
    Dim myGroups As SPGroupCollection = webSite.SiteGroups

    For Each group As SPGroup In myGroups
        Response.Write((SPEncode.HtmlEncode(group.Name) + "<BR>"))
    Next group
End Using

using (SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb("Website_URL"))
{
    SPGroupCollection collGroups = oWebsite.SiteGroups;
    foreach (SPGroup oGroup in collGroups)
    {
        Response.Write(SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oGroup.Name) + "<BR>");
    }
}

Note

Certain objects implement the IDisposable interface, and you must avoid retaining these objects in memory after they are no longer needed. For information about good coding practices, see Best Practices: Using Disposable Windows SharePoint Services Objects.
