I was trying to create an out of the box survey programmatically and wanted to add the question and choices to it too. Below is the sample implementation in C#.

 

                    SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(HttpContext.Current);

 

                    // create the out of the box survey using the list template

                    Guid surveyId = web.Lists.Add("Name of the Title", "Description of the survey", SPListTemplateType.Survey);
                   

                    SPList survey = web.Lists[surveyId];

                    

                    string Question = "what?";

                    StringCollection choices = new StringCollection();

                    choices.Add("choice1");

                    choices.Add("choice2");

                    choices.Add("choice3");

 

                    // Set the question and choices for the survey
                    survey.Fields.Add(Question, SPFieldType.Choice, true, false, choices);

                    // save the changes back to the list

                    survey.Update();

                    

                    // save the changes made in the site
                    web.Update();

We just pulled a fast one on the new hires the other day. We welcomed them with pomp and grandeur. We had elephants, drums et all. The video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GpPcMVbmtw. You can also watch the video below...
