Changing the SharePoint Welcome Page Programmatically

Introduction:

Sometimes you will have a feature which you activate on a sub site where you want to change the “Welcome Page” or landing page to be a custom one.
Here is a sample on how you can change default.aspx to be a new page like welcome.aspx or home.aspx etc that you have just created.


The Code:

public static void ChangeWelcomePage(SPWeb rootWeb, string pageName)
{
    if (PublishingWeb.IsPublishingWeb(rootWeb))
    {
		PublishingWeb pubWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(rootWeb);
		//Get the file name
		SPFile welcomeFile = rootWeb.GetFile(pageName);
		//Assign the new filename to the DefaultPage property
		pubWeb.DefaultPage = welcomeFile;
		//Update the Publishing Web.
		pubWeb.Update();
    }
}

Thanks!
