SPListItem newTopic = SPUtility.CreateNewDiscussion(list, "Topic5");                        // In the "body" column you can add the HTML content so that you can add images and add the styles for the contents.                        // To get the HTML content - Go to the "Discussion" list, then click on "Add new Discussion".                        // In the body column add the contents and images.                        // In the ribbon interface, click on "Editing Tools" and then click on "Format text" tab.                        // In the "Markup" group you could see "HTML" option.                        // Click on the down arrow and then click on "Edit HTML Source".                        // Copy the HTML source.                        newTopic["Body"] = "<div class='ExternalClassF7F26CE68055477797898F1D2250E309'><div class='ExternalClass37FC140BAA764AAD9DAB0F050FD45712' style='color: #ec008c; text-decoration: underline'><p><strong>"My new Topic."<img alt='DISCUSS.GIF' src='/sites/VJTesting/SiteAssets/Lists/Team%20Discussion/EditForm/DISCUSS.GIF' style='margin: 5px'/><br/><br/></strong>?</p></div></div>";                        newTopic.Update();                        System.Console.WriteLine(newTopic.Title + " discussion topic is created successfully");                        System.Console.ReadLine();                    }                    else                    {                        System.Console.WriteLine("List does not exists in the site");                        System.Console.ReadLine();                    }                }            }                   }    }}
