Gets the version represented by this item.

Remarks

An item may have multiple versions within a language. Only one version is published at a time and therefore viewable on the website. A version is identified by an integer number.

Example

This example gets an item in a database.

public Item GetItem(string databaseName, string id, string language, string version) {
  ID itemID = ID.Parse(id);

  Language itemLanguage = Language.Parse(language);
  
  Sitecore.Data.Version itemVersion = Sitecore.Data.Version.Parse(version);

  Database database = Factory.GetDatabase(databaseName);

  if (database != null) {
    return database.Items[itemID, itemLanguage, itemVersion];
  }

  return null;
}

The following example builds a listview control containing icons for each version of an item.

public void DisplayVersions(Control parent, Item item) {
  foreach (Item version in item.Versions.GetVersions()) {
    ListviewItem listviewItem = new ListviewItem();

    Sitecore.Context.ClientPage.AddControl(parent, listviewItem);

    listviewItem.ID = "Version" + version.Version.Number.ToString();
    listviewItem.Header = version.Version.Number.ToString();
    listviewItem.Icon = version.Appearance.Icon;
  }
}
