Posted on by Rahul Dahiya 54
Hi All,
I come across a requirement to get metadata (all tables or forms or classes) from a given model.
I checked many blogs & got to know about metadata API & metadatasupport class. using this I can get alltables or other objects but didn't get how to get this metadata (all table or forms) from a given model only.
 
Thanks & Regards, 
Rahul

    Does MetadataSupport::GetModelsOfMetadataArtifact() gives you what you want for a single element?
     
    There is no documentation, as far as I know.

    Hi Rahul,
     
    Can you please show us the code you used to get metadata of all models based on the blogs u followed. And then maybe we can help you to get it for a certain model.
     
    Thanks,

    Hi Waed,
    yes we can access any object in AOT directly but I asked in reference of x++. How can we do it with x++ code.

    Hi Martin,
    I didn't find any Model property to filter metadata based on model. these are .NET classes & not present in AOT as well. Is their any documentation available on these classes & property.
     
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rahul

    Did you try to go to AOT, right click then choose model view?
    Also did you try to search meta data from search on the AOT?

    I would have to look at properties of those metamodel classes, but I would expect a property such as Model that you can then use for filtering. Isn't it the case?
