Customizing Sharepoint Site by Disabling/ Removing the Quick Launch Items

We can programmatically hide or remove the Quick Launch items from within a SharePoint Site to give that site a customized look and feel. We can easily hide / show the Quick Launch items using the QuickLaunchEnabled property of a SPWeb object.. /*1st code block*/ SPSite spSite = new SPSite(SiteUrl); SPWeb spWeb = spSite.OpenWeb(); spWeb.QuickLaunchEnabled = false; spWeb.Update();

Similarly, we can iterate through each of the Quick Launch items to delete them from the web. /*2nd code block*/ SPSite spSite = new SPSite(SiteUrl); SPWeb spWeb = spSite.OpenWeb(); int i; for (i = spWeb.Navigation.QuickLaunch.Count - 1; i > 0;  i--) {     spWeb.Navigation.QuickLaunch.Delete(spWeb.Navigation.QuickLaunch[ i ]); } spWeb.Update();
