DEVELOPERS FORUM - List of items and their attributes

alexb - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 11:13 AM:

I'm just starting development with Aras in .NET and successfully connected to a database to query the documents in it.

My question is, is there a list of items and attributes listed somewhere. From looking at the Programmers Manual, I only see the methods that can be applied to the Items, but no list of items anywhere.

Are items just SQL database tables? And attributes columns within the database?

Hi,

The beauty of Aras is that it is self describing, 

If you want a list of ItemTypes just query the ItemType ItemType :

<Item type="ItemType" action="get"/>

If you want the properties of a specific ItemType : 

<AML>

  <Item type="Property" action="get">

    <source_id>

      <Item type="ItemType" action="get">

        <name>Document</name>

      </Item>

    </source_id>

  </Item>

</AML>
