Delete all items in a SharePoint list

/ Published in: C#

This will delete all items in a SharePoint list. Better than looping through a SPListItemCollection and doing a .delete();

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

SPList list = web.Lists[ListId];
SPListItemCollection splic = list.Items;
StringBuilder batchString = new StringBuilder();
batchString.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><Batch>");
 
foreach (SPListItem item in splic)
{
        batchString.Append("<Method>");
        batchString.Append("<SetList Scope=\"Request\">" + Convert.ToString(item.ParentList.ID) + "</SetList>");
        batchString.Append("<SetVar Name=\"ID\">" + Convert.ToString(item.ID) + "</SetVar>");
        batchString.Append("<SetVar Name=\"Cmd\">Delete</SetVar>");
        batchString.Append("</Method>");
}
 
batchString.Append("</Batch>");
SPContext.Current.Web.ProcessBatchData(batchString.ToString());
