Original KB number: 2755129
This article describes how to use SPQuery to query a list in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.
Use SPQuery in SharePoint Management Shell
To use SPQuery in SharePoint Management Shell, refer to the following example script:
$web=Get-SPWeb http://sps15/sites/SiteName #This URL is the URL of Your SharePoint Site
$list=$web.Lists["Task"] #"Task" is the name of the list.
$query=New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Query = "<where><eq><FieldRef Name='status'/><value Type='CHOICE'>Not Started</value></eq></where>"
# 'Status'is the name of the List Column. 'CHOICE'is the information type of the Column.
$SPListItemCollection = $list.GetItems($query)
$SPListItemCollection.Count
$SPListItemCollection | select Web, DisplayName
$web.Dispose()
$list=$web.Lists["Task"]
$query=New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Query="<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Age'/><Value Type='Number'>400</Value></Eq></Where>"
$SPListItemCollection = $list.GetItems($query)
$SPListItemCollection.Count
$SPListItemCollection | select Web, DisplayName
$web.Dispose()
Use SPQuery in C# applications
To use SPQuery in C# applications, refer to the following example code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPSite cursite=new SPSite("http://sps15/sites/new");//This URL is the URL of your SharePoint Site.
SPWeb curweb = cursite.OpenWeb();
SPQuery curQry = new SPQuery();
curQry.Query = "<where><eq><FieldRef name='status'/><value type='CHOICE'>Not Started</value></ep></where>";
SPList mylist = curweb.Lists["Task"];//Task is the name for the list.
SPListItemCollection curitems = mylist.GetItems(curQry);
foreach (SPListItem curitem in curitems)
{
string resultitem = curitem["Title"].ToString();
Console.Write(resultitem+"\n\r");
}
if (curweb != null)
{
string title = curweb.Title;
Console.Write(title);
}
}
