How to create a custom list with custom views based upon a custom list definition

I am changing the GUID of the view, as the list definition with custom views will be deployed on other servers as well so this will keep changing.

But somehow, it doesn't accepts the GUID given by me which creates problem while assigning this custom view to any webpart such as xslt list view wp.

One can add the baseview "0" programmatically by scanning through available views as follows:

foreach (SPView view in oobList.Views)

{

if (view.BaseViewID == "0")

{

listViewWebPart.ViewGuid = view.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();

break;

}

There may be some situation that you want to create custom site defintion and deploy it to the sharepoint server. So, in that case if you want to create a custom site defintion with custom views, then this particular work-around will make it easier.

Thanks for this post! I was stuck on this for hours before I found this post. The SetupPath was my issue as well. Now working just fine!

Thanks. Worked for me. The SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" attribute value was what I needed to get past the file not found exception.

I have followed exact steps....but views are not being created. :(

I am not sure whether this will add custom view into the default View dropdown menu. Any help would be appreciated.
