Hi,

You can use QueryHistory to query all history of the Item,

VersionControlServer vcs = ...;
            string serverItemName = ...;
            System.Collections.IEnumerable changesets = vcs.QueryHistory(
                serverItemName,
                VersionSpec.Latest,
                0,
                RecursionType.None,
                null,
                new ChangesetVersionSpec(1),
                VersionSpec.Latest,
                int.MaxValue,
                true,
                false
                );
            foreach (Changeset changeset in changesets)
            {
                //this changeset that gotten in this way only includes one change, even though there may many changes indeed
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("ChangeType:{0}\tServerItem:{1}"
                    , changeset.Changes[0].ChangeType
                    , changeset.Changes[0].Item.ServerItem
                    ));


            }

The change type may be

        None = 1,
        Add = 2,
        Edit = 4,
        Encoding = 8,
        Rename = 16,
        Delete = 32,
        Undelete = 64,
        Branch = 128,
        Merge = 256,
        Lock = 512,
