Alert Object Model
This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.
Use the Alerts property of either the SPUser or SPWeb class to return a Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertCollection object that represents the collection of alerts for the user or Web site. Use an indexer to return a single alert from the collection.
For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named collAlerts, use collAlerts[index] in C#, or collAlerts(index) in Microsoft Visual Basic, where index is either the index number of the alert in the collection or the display name of the alert.
Note
Use the Update method after making any changes to the alert.
