I have created two hold items "HR" and "Finance" in the Holds list



Which is available in Site Actions => Site Settings => Hold and eDiscovery => Holds.



In the Shared documents I have an item "New" for which both "HR" and "Finance" holds are added.



Programmatically get the list of holds for the item "New":

• 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 GetHolds
  {
      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")
                          {
                              List<SPListItem> holds = Hold.GetHolds(item);
                              foreach (SPListItem holdItem in holds)
                              {
                                  Console.WriteLine(holdItem.Title);
                              }
                          }
                      }                 
                      Console.ReadLine();
                  }               
              }            
          }
      }
  }
