After being shown the Managed Metadata Service and the Term Stores in SharePoint 2010, I felt the need to figure out how to create all of the items that were shown to me in code. Below is a list of new classes that we will be using to accomplish the task:
- TaxonomySession
- TermStore
- Group
- TermSet
The code below will create a new group called “A Group” and then create a TermSet and populating the TermSet with items. Here is the code:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://sp2010);
TaxonomySession ts = new TaxonomySession(site);
TermStore termStore = ts.TermStores[1];
Group group = termStore.CreateGroup(“A Group”);
TermSet termSet = group.CreateTermSet(“Term Set 1”);
termSet.CreateTerm(“Term 1”, 1033);
termSet.CreateTerm(“Term 2”, 1033);
termSet.CreateTerm(“Term 3”, 1033);
termStore.CommitAll();
});
Here is what the final output looks like when looking at it in Central Administration:
