Detect DomainModel Entities Type at runtime Printed From: IdeaBlade Category: DevForce Forum Name: DevForce 2009 Forum Discription: For .NET 3.5 URL: http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1171 Printed Date: 15-Mar-2025 at 12:37pm Topic: Detect DomainModel Entities Type at runtime Posted By: dmaya Subject: Detect DomainModel Entities Type at runtime Date Posted: 26-Mar-2009 at 9:15am Hello : Is there any way to detect which are the Type's defined in a DomainModel at runtime? Thank you David Replies: Posted By: GregD Date Posted: 27-Mar-2009 at 9:47am The following code snippet shows how you can (a) discover the types that inherit from Entity in a specific assembly or set of assemblies (I'm only searching one assembly, DomainModel, in this snippet); and (b) discover the EntityProperties on each type. You can try this out in the Program.cs of a Console project in any DevForce application.     private void DoIt() {       Type[] typesInModel = IdeaBlade.Util.v4.ReflectionFns.GetTypesImplementing(         typeof(Entity), new string[] { "DomainModel" });       foreach (Type aType in typesInModel) {         Console.WriteLine(aType.Name);         IdeaBlade.EntityModel.v4.EntityMetadata anEntityMetadata =           IdeaBlade.EntityModel.v4.EntityMetadataStore.Instance.GetEntityMetadata(aType);         foreach (EntityProperty anEntityProperty in anEntityMetadata.EntityProperties) {           Console.WriteLine("    {0} [{1}]",             anEntityProperty.Name,             anEntityProperty.DataType.ToString());         }       }       PromptToContinue();     }     void PromptToContinue() {       Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to continue...");       Console.WriteLine();       Console.ReadLine();     }
