If we want to create a site in our site collection programmatically, so here is the code for it. I have created a console application, you can use it according to your convenience wherever required say Feature Receiver or Event handler

Code snippet

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

{

using (SPSite objSite = new SPSite("SiteUrl"))

{

using (SPWeb objWeb = objSite.OpenWeb())

{

objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

SPWebCollection objWebColl = objWeb.Webs;

objWebColl.Add("MyTestSite", "TestSite", "this is a test Site", 1033,

"STS#0", true, false);

objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

}

}

});
