Get All approval task through template ID using SharePoint Server object model

This SharePoint server object model tutorial explains, how to get all approved task from a different type of task list and added in one list. Here, we will use the SharePoint server object model code to get all approval tasks from a list based on the template ID in SharePoint 2013/2016.

Get All approval task through template ID using SharePoint Server object model

Here I have created a console application where I have written a code to fetch all approval task from SharePoint task list using Template ID (107) and stored in a new custom List.

Step 1: Here I have created a new console application.

Step 2: Below is the code to get all approval task and add in a new custom list in SharePoint.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;

namespace Get_All_Approval_Task
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string siteURL = "/sites/KMIntranet";
            using (SPSite stsite = new SPSite(siteURL))
            {
                SPWebApplication spWebApp = stsite.WebApplication;

                foreach (SPSite spSit in spWebApp.Sites)
                {
                    using (SPWeb siteWeb = spSit.OpenWeb())
                    {
                        SPSiteDataQuery query = new SPSiteDataQuery();
                        query.Webs = "<Webs Scope=\"SiteCollection\" />";
                        query.Lists = "<Lists ServerTemplate=\"107\" />";
                        query.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Priority' /><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' /><FieldRef Name='StartDate' /><FieldRef Name='DueDate' /><FieldRef Name='Status' /><FieldRef Name='FileDirRef' />";
                        query.Query = @"<Where>
                                            <And>

                                            <And>
                                            <Eq>
                                            <FieldRef Name='Status' />
                                            <Value Type='Choice'>Completed</Value>

                                            <FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' />
                                            </IsNotNull>
                                            </And>
                                            </And>
                                            </Where>";
                        DataTable dtTasks = new DataTable();
                        dtTasks = siteWeb.GetSiteData(query);

                        SPFieldUserValue userValue = null;
                        SPSite Mastersite = new SPSite(siteURL);
                        SPWeb MasterWeb = Mastersite.OpenWeb();
                        SPList AppprovedList = MasterWeb.Lists["AddedTask"];
                        SPUser userTest = null;
                        foreach (DataRow row in dtTasks.Rows)
                        {
                            string listName = Convert.ToString(row["FileDirRef"].ToString().Substring(row["FileDirRef"].ToString().IndexOf('#') + 1));

                            SPListItem Item = AppprovedList.AddItem();
                            Item["Title"] = row["Title"];
                            Item["StartDate"] = row["StartDate"];
                            Item["DueDate"] = row["DueDate"];
                            Item["Status"] = row["Status"];
                            Item["URL"] = siteURL + listName + "/DispForm.aspx?ID=" + Convert.ToString(row["ID"]) + "&Source=" + siteURL;
                            Item["Priority"] = row["Priority"];
                            string assignedTo = Convert.ToString(row["AssignedTo"].ToString().Substring(row["AssignedTo"].ToString().IndexOf('#') + 1));
                            try
                            {
                                userTest = MasterWeb.EnsureUser(assignedTo);
                                userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(MasterWeb, userTest.ID, userTest.LoginName);
                                Item["AssignedTo"] = userValue;
                                Item.Update();
                            }
                            catch
                            {

                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 3: Here all approval task has been added automatically.

Step 4: Below is the code for delete task from SharePoint using SharePoint Server Object Model.

public static void deleteTask()
        {
            string siteURL = "http://hqinternetdev16/";
            SPSite Mastersite = new SPSite(siteURL);
            SPWeb MasterWeb = Mastersite.OpenWeb();
            SPList AppprovedList = MasterWeb.Lists["RequestedTask"];
            for (int i = 0; i < AppprovedList.ItemCount; i++)
            {
                SPListItem oListItem = AppprovedList.Items[i];
                oListItem.Delete();
            }
        }
