I have come across a scenario where I needed to create a document library programmatically inside SharePoint 2010 site collection, The “Document Library” is actually a list in SharePoint 2010 but just the template type is different.
Here is a method which I used to create a custom document library programatically.
protected void CreateNewDocumentLibrary()
{
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPListTemplateType tempType = SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary;
web.Lists.Add("EbloginDocLibrary", null, tempType);
}
Once you run this code, go to “All site content” of your site collection you will see a new document library as you can see in below pic.

January 25, 2012Hi Angela,
It really depends when you want to create document library, you can add this code in feature activated method of feature receiver. When user activates the feature Document library will be automatically created on site. Hope this will help.
you can create a discussion if you want to discuss it further.
