SharePoint List C# - Create new Task using OM

Let’s see how we can create new share point task programmatically. Here is a sample code,

Private void CreateTask(string listName, string Title, string Body, string Reference, string Status, DateTime StartDate, DateTime DueDate, string PercentComplete, string AssignedTo, string Priority)

        {

            try

            {

              SPSite site = new SPSite(URL);

        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

          {

                SPList list = web.Lists[listName];

                SPListItem newItem = list.Items.Add();

                newItem["Title"] = Title;

                newItem["Body"] = Body;

                newItem["Status"] = Status;

                newItem["StartDate"] = StartDate.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy");

                newItem["DueDate"] = DueDate.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy");

                newItem["PercentComplete"] = PercentComplete;

                newItem["Priority"] = Priority;

                if (AssignedTo != "")

                {

                   SPUser user = web.EnsureUser(AssignedTo);

                   newItem["AssignedTo"] = user;

                }

                else

                {

                    newItem["AssignedTo"] = AssignedTo;

                }

                newItem.Update();

MessageBox.Show("Task has successfully saved." + Environment.NewLine + ex.Message, "Message");

                 }

          }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

MessageBox.Show("Couldn't create the Task" + Environment.NewLine + ex.Message, "Message");

            }

        }
