Parameters

query   A Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery object that specifies the query.

viewName   A string that contains the GUID specifying the view enclosed within braces ({}) and all upper-case. This value can be generated using View.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper().

The properties of the view that is specified by the viewName parameter override the properties specified in the query object passed through the query parameter.
