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

[codesnippet]Me.GetFieldDescription("RequirementKey")[/codesnippet]

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:

[codesnippet] ''' <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[/codesnippet]

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

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:)

Thanks!
