SPContentDatabase.GetChanges method

Returns the default number of changes listed in the current change log for the content database.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetChanges As SPChangeCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As SPContentDatabase
Dim returnValue As SPChangeCollection

returnValue = instance.GetChanges()

public SPChangeCollection GetChanges()

Return value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPChangeCollection
A collection of SPChange objects that represent the changes.

Remarks

The total number of changes returned by a query against the change log could be very large. For performance reasons, changes are returned in batches of limited size. This overload of the GetChanges method returns only the first batch of changes recorded in the log.

If you want all changes rather than only the first batch, your code should call the GetChanges method in a loop until it returns a collection with zero changes, signifying that it has reached the end of the log. You can use the ChangeToken from the last change of the first batch to get the second batch, and so on until you get an empty collection. For an example, see the GetChanges(SPChangeToken) method.
