Sharepoint 2013 publishing page creation using Client Object Model

Question

I am using SharePoint 2013. Is there any way I can programmatically create a page using ONLY th Client Object Model? Also notice that the page should be editable for further use.

Answer 1

Use PublishingWeb.AddPublishingPage method to create a new PublishingPage object in the PublishingWeb from Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing namespace in SharePoint 2013 CSOM.

Example

public static PublishingPage CreatePublishingPage(ClientContext ctx, string pageName, string pageLayoutName) { var pubWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(ctx, ctx.Web); var pageInfo = new PublishingPageInformation { Name = pageName, PageLayoutListItem = GetPageLayoutByName(ctx, pageLayoutName) }; var publishingPage = pubWeb.AddPublishingPage(pageInfo); ctx.ExecuteQuery(); return publishingPage; } public static ListItem GetPageLayoutByName(ClientContext ctx, string name) { var list = ctx.Site.GetCatalog((int)ListTemplateType.MasterPageCatalog); var qry = new CamlQuery { ViewXml = string.Format("<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef' /><Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>",name) }; var result = list.GetItems(qry); ctx.Load(result); ctx.ExecuteQuery(); var item = result.FirstOrDefault(); return item; } 

Usage

using (var ctx = new ClientContext(webUri)) { var page = CreatePublishingPage(ctx, "Welcome.aspx", "BlankWebPartPage.aspx"); }

This seems to be the answer, but I haven't tested it!
