Collection object Properties

Phead2

I'm having a little bit of trouble using collection objects (MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBObjectCollection). The API guide refers to an Item property yet when I try to use the Item property I get an error because there is no definition for Item in MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBObjectCollection. It seems all I can do is get a count of the items in the collection.

So, I can create collections but I do not see how to actually use their contents; anyone have any details on this?

While iterating over the collection, cast each object to the specific class you are dealing with. For example,

MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBObjectCollection assets = container.get_AssetChildren( MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBRepositoryItemType.AllAssetItems );

assets.Sort(MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBSortField.ByAssetName, MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBSortOrder.MBAscending, null);

IEnumerator i = assets.GetEnumerator();

while( i.MoveNext() )
{
MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBAsset asset = (MBPSCRIPTMODEL2Lib.MBAsset) i.Current;
string assetName = asset.Name;
}
