Programatically assign value to a 'Hyperlink or Picture Type' column in a SharePoint 2016 List

Recently I had a requirement to collect publishing pages URLs in a SharePoint 2016 List. Adding an item in a list is straight forward and that's probably the first development task every SharePoint developer does.

But I was not able to find enough resources on adding a 'HyperLink or Picture Type' column in an SPList.

Below is the code snippet to assign value to a hyper link column.

Hyper link column expects value in <ABSOLUTE URL>, <TITLE> format.

Important thing to note here is that hyperlink should always start with 'http://'. If you try to assign a relative URL or a URL which starts with 'www', you will always get SPFieldValidationException.

Hope it will help.
