Fundamental Sharepoint Interaction Question

**tagg3rx** · Apr 14 '08, 07:05 PM

Hello,
I'm trying to utilize the sharepoint web services to remotely upload documents and it is requiring a listitemid and for the life of me i can't figure out where I get this value.

Here is the environment and code etc...
I created a doc lib for testing on my sharepoint site name "Test".
I added a webrefrence to my project pointed to the
http://.../_vti_bin/lists.asmx

I utilized the following code to get the list's details:

Code:

Lists _wsLists = new Lists();
_wsLists.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("un", "pass", "domain");
XmlNode _xNode = _wsLists.GetList("Test");

which gives me the following XML for for my doc library

Code:

List
    DocTemplateUrl : /Test/Forms/template.doc
    DefaultViewUrl : /Test/Forms/AllItems.aspx
    MobileDefaultViewUrl : 
    ID : {C91C8429-1F17-4D8C-A032-032CD1457E00}
    Title : Test

    RequireCheckout : False

Now To upload a document I need the the following params

Code:

string listName, string listItemID, string fileName, [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="base64Binary")] byte[] attachment

I know how to get everything but the listItemID which i can't figure out.
most examples i found people set this to "1" but that dosent work. I tried a loop and it went all the way to 600 before i quit.

Please Help!
