The RestoreByID method of the SPFileVersionCollection class restores the file version object with the specified integer ID to the collection.

Parameters

vid   A 32-bit integer that specifies the version to restore.

Remarks

If versioning is enabled for the document library and the file is not checked out, the current file becomes the most recent version when a version is restored.

Using the RestoreByID method is the same as using a combination of the OpenBinary method of the SPFileVersion class and the SaveBinary method of the SPFile class, as in myVersion.File.SaveBinary(myVersions[5].OpenBinary). However, the RestoreByID method is more efficient.

Requirements

Platforms: Microsoft Windows Server 2003

Security: Code Access Security
