Property Value
Type: System.String
A string containing the inner XML that specifies the Web sites to include.
Remarks
The Webs property specifies which Web sites to include in the query. By default, the query considers only the Web site from which the GetSiteData method was invoked.
You can broaden the scope of the query by setting the Webs property to a string containing a Webs tag and a Scope attribute. Possible values of the Scope attribute include Recursive and SiteCollection.
<Webs Scope="Recursive" />
<Webs Scope="SiteCollection" />
When the Scope attribute is set to Recursive, the query considers the current Web site and all subsites of the current Web site.
When the Scope attribute is set to SiteCollection, the query considers all Web sites that are in the same site collection as the current Web site. Of the two attribute values, this is the more inclusive.
Examples
The following example is a console application that retrieves information about the size of every file in every document library in a site collection. The application then iterates through the data and prints totals at the library, Web site, and site collection levels.
