Create pages
A standard Sitefinity CMS page consists of PageNode and PageData. PageNode defines where the page is located in the navigation (the sitemap). The PageData is the content of the page. You can have a PageNode without PageData. For example, a group page or a redirecting page. You cannot create PageData without a PageNode. PageData is subject to content lifecycle and workflow.
When you use the native API, you manage pages with the PageManager. You define the type of the page you are creating in the CreatePage method of the PageManager class. Its NodeType property is an enumeration that lists the types of pages nodes:
Standard
A normal page displaying contentGroup
A page without content. Redirects to the first child page or a child page with the same nameExternal
An external page from the file systemInnerRedirect
A redirect to a page inside SitefinityOuterRedirect
A redirect to a page from the webRewriting

When you create a page, you can put the code in any .cs file.
