Remarks
The following example shows the use of an AttributeQueryExpression to retrieve entity metadata.
//A condition expresson to return optionset attributes
MetadataConditionExpression[] optionsetAttributeTypes = new MetadataConditionExpression[] {
new MetadataConditionExpression("AttributeType", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, AttributeTypeCode.Picklist),
new MetadataConditionExpression("AttributeType", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, AttributeTypeCode.State),
new MetadataConditionExpression("AttributeType", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, AttributeTypeCode.Status),
new MetadataConditionExpression("AttributeType", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, AttributeTypeCode.Boolean)
};
//A filter expression to apply the optionsetAttributeTypes condition expression
MetadataFilterExpression AttributeFilter = new MetadataFilterExpression(LogicalOperator.Or);
AttributeFilter.Conditions.AddRange(optionsetAttributeTypes);
//A Properties expression to limit the properties to be included with attributes
MetadataPropertiesExpression AttributeProperties = new MetadataPropertiesExpression() { AllProperties = false };
AttributeProperties.PropertyNames.Add("OptionSet");
AttributeProperties.PropertyNames.Add("AttributeType");
//An entity query expression to combine the filter expressions and property expressions for the query.
EntityQueryExpression entityQueryExpression = new EntityQueryExpression()
{
Criteria = EntityFilter,
Properties = EntityProperties,
AttributeQuery = new AttributeQueryExpression()
{
Criteria = AttributeFilter,
Properties = AttributeProperties
},
LabelQuery = labelQuery
};
//Retrieve the metadata for the query without a ClientVersionStamp
RetrieveMetadataChangesResponse initialRequest = getMetadataChanges(entityQueryExpression, null, DeletedMetadataFilters.OptionSet);
Thread Safety
Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
