PAGETYPE Enumeration in SP 2010

 

Many time we need to direct user’s from custom pages to SharePoint’s OOB list or library specific view, edit, display, dialog pages. In those scenarios developer needs to create the navigating url from the code using some logics like URL = Site Name + Page Type + List/ Library ID + Item ID …
This parameters usually passed in the form of query string. For better understanding, open the Edit form of a list/ library item and study the url.
