Hi James,

Try the following code and see if it works:

var pageType = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClassInfo("custom.PageTypeName");
var pagesField = new DataDefinition(pageType.ClassFormDefinition)
    .GetFields<FieldInfo>()
    .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "YourPagesFieldName");
var relationshipName = RelationshipNameInfoProvider.GetAdHocRelationshipNameCodeName("custom.PageTypeName", pagesField);
var relationshipNameInfo = RelationshipNameInfo.Provider.Get(relationshipName);

RelationshipInfo.Provider.Add(currentPageNodeId, newRelatedPageNodeId, relationshipNameInfo.RelationshipNameId);

Thanks Dmitry,

I should have pointed out that I am using Kentico 12SP and the methods to add a page are slightly different but I was able to work it from your example and the relevant API documentation: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/12_0/api/html/M_CMS_DocumentEngine_RelationshipInfoProvider_AddRelationship.htm
