I can't remember how to access the field descriptor in a BO. How do I do that again?

(Sorry, can't find post were this was shown...:blush Smile

Thanks!

Are you talking about the GetCustomBindablePropertyDescriptors or creating a field descriptor class...or using reflection to talk to the field descriptor BigGrin

I'm talking about getting the value of the Description attribute that is defined for a field, marked with "<---- THIS PUPPY" in the code sample below:

   ''' <summary>

    ''' Requirement Key

    ''' </summary>

    ''' <remarks></remarks>

    <Browsable(False), _

     BusinessFieldDisplayInEditor(), _

     Description("Requirement Key"), _  <---- THIS PUPPY

     DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _

    Public Property [RequirementKey]() As System.Int32

      Get

        Return CType(Me.CurrentRow.Item("RequirementKey"), System.Int32)

      End Get

      Set(ByVal value As System.Int32)

        Me.CurrentRow.Item("RequirementKey") = value

      End Set

    End Property

Good description Smile

I definitely got it this time. It is actually a method on the BO called GetFieldDescription:

Me.GetFieldDescription("RequirementKey")
