Examples

The following code example uses the GroupByFooter property to customize the Group By footer area in a view and adds a link to a document library that is located

in the site.

Dim siteColl As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context)
Dim site As SPWeb = siteColl.AllWebs("Site_Name")
Dim list As SPList = site.Lists("List_Name")
Dim view As SPView = list.Views("View_Name")

view.GroupByFooter = 
        "<Switch><Expr><GetVar Name='OnlyOneItem' /></Expr>" _
    & "<Case Value='1'><HTML><![CDATA[<td>&amp;nbsp;</td>
        <td width='50%'>&amp;nbsp;</td>]]>" _
    & "</HTML><SetVar Name='OnlyOneItem' Scope='Request' 
        Value='0' /></Case>" _
    & "</Switch><HTML><![CDATA[</TBODY>]]></HTML><Switch><Expr>" _
    & "<GetVar Name='GroupByIndent' /></Expr><Case Value='0'><HTML>" _
    & "<![CDATA[<TBODY id='foot]]></HTML>
        <GetVar Name='GroupByLevelString' />" _
    & "<HTML><![CDATA[_'>

    & "<TD STYLE='border-style:double' width='100%' BGCOLOR='beige'         class='ms-gb2'>" _    & "<A href='/Site_Name/DocLib_Name'>        See Documents</A></TD></TR></TBODY>]]></HTML>" _
    & "</Case><Default /></Switch><Switch><Expr>

        <HTML><![CDATA[');</SCRIPT>]]></HTML>" _
    & "</Case><Default /></Switch>"

view.Update()
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Website_Name"])
{
    SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
    SPView oView = oList.Views["View_Name"];

    oView.GroupByFooter = 
        "<Switch><Expr><GetVar Name=\"OnlyOneItem\" /></Expr>" +
