Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property CheckedOutFiles As IList(Of SPCheckedOutFile)
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As SPDocumentLibrary
Dim value As IList(Of SPCheckedOutFile)

value = instance.CheckedOutFiles

public IList<SPCheckedOutFile> CheckedOutFiles { get; }

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IList<SPCheckedOutFile>
An IList<T> object that contains SPCheckedOutFile objects with information about files that have been uploaded but not checked in.

When someone creates a new file or adds a new file to a library that requires check-out, the file is initially checked out. The person who creates or adds the file must check it in before other people can use it. The CheckedOutFiles property returns a collection of SPCheckedOutFile objects with information about files that have been added to the library but have not been checked in.

The following example is a console application that opens the root Web site, finds all document libraries that require documents to be checked out before they can be modified, and prints a report with information about any document that was uploaded but not checked in.
