SPChangeCollection Class

Represents a collection of SPChange objects. The maximum number of changes that can be represented in a collection is 1000.

Inheritance Hierarchy

System.Object
  Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAutoSerializingObject

      Microsoft.SharePoint.SPChangeCollection

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class SPChangeCollection _
    Inherits SPBaseCollection

Dim instance As SPChangeCollection
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public sealed class SPChangeCollection : SPBaseCollection

Remarks

Use the GetChanges method of the SPList, SPWeb, SPSite, or SPContentDatabase object to return the collection of changes that have occurred in the given scope.

The maximum number of changes that an SPChangeCollection object can contain is specified by the constant CountLimit().

Examples

The following example is a console application that queries the change log for changes to lists in the root Web site of a site collection. After the changes are retrieved, the application examines each change and writes information about it to a text file. Note that the application calls the GetChanges method in a loop, retrieving changes in batches until the end of the change log is reached.
