Code Sample : How to programmatically get an SPFile in SharePoint

by Mark Jones | Dec 29, 2011

This example illustrates how to develop a helper method to return an SPFile based on a Web, folder and filename.

public static SPFile GetFile(SPWeb web, string folder, string fileName)

try

 // get the folder in the web

        SPFolder workingFolder = web.GetFolder(folder);

 // get the file.

        SPFile file = workingFolder.Files[fileName];

 return file;

 catch (Exception)

        LogHelper.LogMethodEnd(logger, "SPFileHelper", "GetFile");

 return null;
