  1. Hello Ravi,
    Very good one. But I have small suggestion.
    Your code block has some thing wrong. You are not adding your content type to the site content types. Instead of following line SPContentType contentType = new SPContentType(web.ContentTypes[“Document”], web.ContentTypes, “SPTECHNET Time Sheet”);

    Please correct it to
    SPContentType contentType = web.ContentTypes.Add(new SPContentType(web.ContentTypes[“Document”], web.ContentTypes, “SPTECHNET Time Sheet”));
