The following example uses the GetView method to display a view schema for a specified list. 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 node As XmlNode = viewService.GetView("List_Name", "71bb8975-c59f-4218-a045-eab56b41e666 ")

MessageBox.Show(node.OuterXml)

Web_Reference_Folder.Views viewService = new Web_Reference_Folder.Views();
viewService.Credentials= System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

XmlNode node = viewService.GetView("List_Name","71bb8975-c59f-4218-a045-eab56b41e666 ");
