here is the way that you can get the view in your list using (SPSite site = new SPSite(yoursiteUrl)) { if (site != null) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPList list = web.Lists["ListName"]; if (list != null) { SPListItemCollection coll = web.Lists["ListName"].GetItems(web.Lists["ListName"].Views["ViewName"]); foreach (SPListItem item in coll) { //do something //if you are testing on console application Console.WriteLine(item.Title.ToString()); } } web.Close(); } site.Close(); } } Regards  Rashid Imran Bilgrami
