I had the requirement to populate seeddata in a simple list structure that contained some lookup columns. The lookup requires the identifier/display text of the source object - in my case it was a ParentItem that was being used in the ChildItem table. I created a lookup column 'Parent' and added it the child list. The following code resolved the problem. Please note that this code is for seed data that has expected values and does no validation checking or use any defensive programming. // Add items to the parent item SPList parentList = web.Lists["ParentItem"]; SPListItem item = parentList.Items.Add(); item["Title"] = "Parent Header 1"; item.Update(); // Add the child item SPList childList = web.Lists["ChildItem"]; item = childList.Items.Add(); SPListItem parentItem = GetHeaderItem(parentList, "Parent Header 1"); item["Title"] = "My Child Item"; item["Parent"] = new SPFieldLookupV...
