public static void CreateDir_WebRequest() //under working...{
string actionUrl = "http://localhost/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll CS=109"; string referUrl = "http://localhost/_layouts/1033/new.aspx " + "ListTemplate=101&ListBaseType=1"; string boundary = "----------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x"); HttpWebRequest preRequest =(
HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(referUrl);preRequest.UseDefaultCredentials =
true;preRequest.KeepAlive =
true; HttpWebResponse preResponse =(
HttpWebResponse)preRequest.GetResponse(); HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(actionUrl);request.Credentials =
CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; request.ContentType = "Application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + boundary;request.Method =
"POST";request.Referer = referUrl;
request.Accept =
"*/*";request.KeepAlive =
true;request.AllowAutoRedirect =
true; for (int i = 0; i < preResponse.Cookies.Count; i++){
request.CookieContainer.Add(preResponse.Cookies
);
}
string requestString = null;requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("--" + boundary);requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Title=\"CCC\"&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Description=\"CCC\"&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("displayOnLeft=\"TRUE\"&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("VersioningEnabled=\"FALSE\"&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("DocumentTemplateType=101&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("ListTemplate=1&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Project=\"http://localhost\"&");requestString +=
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Cmd=\"NewList\""); byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(requestString);request.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream writer = request.GetRequestStream();writer.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); string responseString = null; StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());responseString = reader.ReadToEnd();
SaveStringToFile(responseString,
"c:\\test\\CreateDir_WebRequest.txt");}
How to create a folder in WSS site(with httpWebRequest)

Judging from your code sample, it looks like you are just wanting to create this on a WSS site that is running on the local server (same server as this code is running)
If you are wanting to create a WSS document library (or any other WSS object) on the local server, then your best bet is to just leverage the SharePoint Object Model libraries. Just add a reference to the sharepoint DLL (Microsoft.SharePoint.dll), and then you can access the full range of WSS capabilities.
Please allow me to direct you to a (free) sharepoint developer training resource that I helped create last year: www.sharepoint123.com
If you follow the link there to download the content, you will see level 100, 200, and 300 presentations + Hands On Lab downloads. You will probably be most interested in the Level 300 download, there is a PDF manual for the entire hands-on lab session. Lesson 1 / Exercise 2 in that lab manual is pretty much a walkthrough of how to build an external program that manipulates WSS sites. You can work with Document Libraries in much the same way. Also, this sample is written as a Windows Forms application, but you could just as easily have written it as a Web application.

Thanks Keith much.
The program will run in a dist enviroment. That's why i use Http request but not SDK of WSS. Thank you any way, the training resource is good.

The SOM should still work even for a distributed WSS farm. All of this stuff is just stored in the WSS content database. The SOM just makes it a little easier to get to.

Moss work in distributed environment.But the codes should located at one of the machine which host the farm.
I finally walk around it through web service.
Thanks for your kind help.
