SharePoint 2010 : Programmatically Add a Term to The SharePoint 2010 Term Store.

The new metadata features in 2010 are of great value to us. With each of our assets having a unique accounting identifier and our document contributors having room for improvement with naming documents favorably for search it could be a life savor!

Add following reference to the solution

using System.Globalization;

using Microsoft.SharePoint;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy;

 

To add term in the term store, add following code

SPSite site = new SPSite("http://newdemo2010"); TaxonomySession taxSession = new TaxonomySession(site); TermStore termStore = taxSession.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"]; Group storeGroup = termStore.Groups["BPTemplate"]; TermSet termSet = storeGroup.TermSets["Timecard"]; termSet.CreateTerm(pTerm, 1033); //It will term to the root term Term propertyIdsTerm = termSet.Terms["TimeLog"]; propertyIdsTerm.CreateTerm(pTerm, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID); //This will add term to a term termStore.CommitAll();
