Modify the content of the home page programmatically in SharePoint 2010

Question

First of all, I'm pretty new to SharePoint so don't shoot me if this is a noobish question or if I don't provide all the right information at once... :)

I have a team-site in SharePoint with following URL: " http://myServer/Opdracht_Ben/ ". By going to this URL I'm redirected to following page: " http://myServer/sites/Opdracht_Ben/SitePages/Home.aspx ".

In Visual Studio I have a project for this site with a feature. When this site-feature is activated it should change the content of the home-page to some custom tekst and layout (ie: HTML). The content is not contained within a web part or the page is not a WikiPage, just text on a page.

I've been looking on MSDN and on several tech-sites and blogs but I have not found anything that could help me further. Does anyone know how I can 'reach' the content of the page and modify/update it?

PS: Here on SO I have found a related question ( Click for the question ), but the provided solution is for when the web is a "Publishing Web", which is not the case here, so that solution won't do me any good.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I have found out that the page IS a WikiPage after all. So I managed to change the content with following code:

using (var site = new SPSite(ApplicationResources.Url.SiteRoot))
{
    using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
    {
        var page = web.GetFile(ApplicationResources.Url.FullDefaultPageName);
        var item = page.Item;
        item["Wiki Content"] = NewContent(title, text);
        item.Update();
    }
}

Maybe this is not the best method, so if anyone has a better and more reliable solution: feel free to correct me! ;)
