Parameters

Example

The following code example uses the GetItems method to return and display items whose "Schedule" field value equals "2 weeks".

After instantiating an SPQuery object through a constructor, the example uses Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) to define criteria for the query, which is passed as parameter in the GetItems method.
