Hi all,

I am working on a windows app to create a site and some other customisation.
I can create a subsite of an existing collection using the following code

' Define the toplevel site of the site collection
Dim topLevelSite As New SPSite(txtURL.Text.ToString)

' Set the toplevel site as the current site
Dim topLevelSiteWeb As SPWeb = topLevelSite.OpenWeb()
Dim subSites As SPWebCollection = topLevelSiteWeb.Webs()
'
Dim siteURL As String = txtNewSiteURL.Text.ToString()
Dim siteTitle As String = txtNewSiteTitle.Text.ToString()
Dim siteDesc As String = txtNewSiteDesc.Text.ToString()
' Create subsite
subSites.Add(siteURL, siteTitle, siteDesc, Convert.ToUInt32(1033),
"STS#0", False, False)

But I am having trouble creating a new site collection. Does anyone have any
pointers? I am trying to create a new collection using the site path
http://spsportal/sites

Cheers

David

site collections are not "SPWeb" objects. they are "SPSite" objects, and you
create them from the SPWebApplication object.
