How to Create - Update - Delete SharePoint Views Programmatically?

Often in development we may have to deal with SharePoint Views programmatically. Here I'm sharing the code snippets from my recent project to handle views programmatically.

Creating a New View Programmatically:

    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://crescent.sharepoint.com"))
        {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                   //Get the List
                     SPList ProjectDocuments = web.Lists["Client Documents"];

             //Set the View fields
             StringCollection ViewFields = new StringCollection();
             ViewFields.Add("Type");
             ViewFields.Add("Name");
            
             //Set the View Filter and Sort order
             string viewQuery = @" <Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Status' /><Value Type='Choice'>In Progress</Value></Eq></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Ascending='False' /></OrderBy> ";

             //Create the view
             ProjectDocuments.Views.Add("Proposal Documents", ViewFields, ViewQuery, 100, true, false);
            
             //Update the List
             ProjectDocuments.Update();
  
               }
      }

Add/Remove fields to an existing View Programmatically:

  
                //Get the List
                SPList ProjectDocuments = web.Lists["Project Documents"];

                //Get the view 
                SPView ProjectDocumentsDV = ProjectDocuments.DefaultView;
                // Or it can be: SPView oView = oList.Views["View-Name"];

                //Delete all fields from the view
                ProjectDocumentsDV.ViewFields.DeleteAll();
                //Add "Type" and "Name" fields
                ProjectDocumentsDV.ViewFields.Add("Type");
                ProjectDocumentsDV.ViewFields.Add("Name");

                //Update the view
                ProjectDocumentsDV.Update();
                //Update the List
                ProjectDocuments.Update();

Get the Fields from View Programmatically:

              
              SPView ProjectDocumentsView = ProjectDocuments.DefaultView;

              //Get the fields from a View
              SPViewFieldCollection ViewFieldColl = ProjectDocumentsView.ViewFields;

                    foreach (string ViewField in ViewFieldCol)
                      {
                          Console.WriteLine("Field Name : " + ViewField);
                      }

Delete Existing View Programmatically:

  //Get the List
     SPList ProjectDocuments = web.Lists["Project Documents"];

     //Get the view 
     SPView ProjectDocumentsView = ProjectDocuments.DefaultView;

    //Delete the views
    ProjectDocuments.Views.Delete(ProjectDocumentsView.ID);
    ProjectDocuments.Update();
