Parameters

  • listName
    Type: System.String

    A string that contains the internal name of the list.

  • viewName
    Type: System.String

    A string that contains the GUID for the view.

  • viewProperties
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    An XML fragment that contains all the view-level properties as attributes, such as Editor, Hidden, ReadOnly, and Title.

  • query
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    A Query element containing the query that determines which records are returned and in what order, and that can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object. The following example performs a query for cases in which the ID field is less than 3, and displays items in the order of their titles:

  • viewFields
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    A ViewFields element that specifies which fields to return in the query and that can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object, as in the following example:

  • aggregations
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    An Aggregations element that specifies the fields to aggregate and that can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object, as in the following example:

  • formats
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    A Formats element that defines the grid formatting for columns and that can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object, as in the following example:

  • rowLimit
    Type: System.Xml.XmlNode

    A RowLimit element that specifies the number of items, or rows, to display on a page before paging begins and that can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object. The fragment can include the Paged attribute to specify that the view return list items in pages. The following example sets a limit of 100 items per page:

Return value

Type: System.Xml.XmlNode
A Introduction to Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) fragment in the following form that contains the updated view schema and can be assigned to a System.Xml.XmlNode object.

Examples

The following code example modifies the query, row limit, and view fields in a view for a list, returning items whose values for a DateTime field and a Number field exceed specified values. This example requires that a using (C#) or Imports (Microsoft Visual Basic) directive be included for the System.Xml namespace.

Dim viewService As New Web_Reference_Folder.Views()
viewService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

Dim strQuery As String = "<Where><And><Gt>" + _
    "<FieldRef Name="Date_Field" />" + _
    "<Value Type="DateTime">2003-6-10T12:00:00Z</Value></Gt>" + _
    "<Gt><FieldRef Name="Number_Field" />" + _
    "<Value Type="Number">200</Value></Gt>" + _
    "</And></Where>" + _ 
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Title" /></OrderBy>"

Dim strRowLimit As String = "50"
Dim strViewFields As String = "<FieldRef Name="Title" />" + _
    "<FieldRef Name="Date_Field" />" + _
    "<FieldRef Name="Number_Field" />"

Dim xmlDoc = New System.Xml.XmlDocument()

Dim ndQuery As XmlNode = xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Query", "")

    "9781bd25-1f68-481f-81d3-1e4f3f9216dd", Nothing, ndQuery, ndViewFields, Nothing, Nothing, ndRowLimit)

    "9781bd25-1f68-481f-81d3-1e4f3f9216dd", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, 
    null, null, ndRowLimit);
