Great article, made some tweeks to allow the owner to be a SharePoint group and to set other attributes of the SPGroup.

Thanks

SPWeb.Groups will allow you to pull out only the groups which have some / any kind of permissions defined within the site.

SPWeb.SiteGroups will pull out all the cross-site groups irrespective of any permission defined.

@Hassan - Yes, writing this as an stsadm command is a very good way to execute this code. A feature also works as well. Going forward with SharePoint 2010, you can write this as a powershell commandlet as well.

Thanks for a nice post. I have been taking similar appraoches with 2007 in the past however with 2010 we can improve it a bit further.

The challenge with developing these utilities as winform applications is maintenance, by the end of the project we would have a basket full of utulities to automate different tasks.

With 2010 I think the best approach would be creating a cmdlet for the code you have given above. I haven't played with cmdlets yet but in theory beleive it is quite possible and then we could have a powershell batch file to prepare the sharepoint enviornment and one step would be calling this custom cmdlet to create groups with xml file provided.
