Check whether the item is in hold in SharePoint 2010

In this blog we will be seeing whether the list item is in hold in SharePoint 2010 using object model.

In Shared Documents I have a document "New”, here I am going to check whether the item is in hold or not using SharePoint object model.

• Open Visual Studio 2010.
• Create a new console application.
• Add the following references. 
• Microssoft.Office.Policy.dll
• Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
• Add the following namespaces. 
• using Microsoft.SharePoint;
• using Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.Holds;
• Replace the code with the following.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.Holds;
namespace Holds
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername:22222/sites/Test/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
                {
                    SPList list = web.Lists["Shared Documents"];
                    foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items)
                    {
                        if (item.DisplayName.ToString() == "New")
                        {
                            if (Hold.IsItemOnHold(item))
                            {
                                Console.WriteLine(item.DisplayName + " is on hold");
                                Console.ReadLine();
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
