How To Get Single Part From Collection Of Items

Jasbir, Every Aras Item object includes the full collection + the item itself. So when you access item at specific Index you can:

1. Access the item itself by using Aras methods (like getProperty() or setProperty()) for example this will return value of the property item_number:

   item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).getProperty("item_number")

2. Access the XmlNode behind this Item for example this will return value of the property item_number using Xml:

   item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).node.SelectSingleNode("item_number").InnerText

3. Access the XmlDocument of the Collection

   item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).dom

   

I think you could also do something like this Item returnItem =  item_collection.getItemByIndex(0); return returnItem

@dlindinger : Thanks for your input, I tried this but it is also giving me whole list of items rather than the one present at node 0. @Zahar : Thanks for your input, but is there any way I can return full Item rather than specific properties, as want all the properties inside it.    

I was able to reproduce the same behaviour. In order to get the single item returned I was successful with this line. return this.getInnovator().getItemById(item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).getType(), item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).getID());  

Jasbir, As I have mention in my previous answer using following syntax will return you specific Item in collection (or actually it's XmlNode representation): item_collection.getItemByIndex(0).node

Thanks Guys! It worked..
