Code Snippet: Generic, Reusable Code to Get All Identities In a Group
Hello everyone, Here is a code snippet to retrieve all identities in a identity (group) recursively. As I faced this requirement multiple times, and Innovator not having a standard function for it, I decided to create it myself.

How to get the source item properties in the related item onafteradd event?
hi All, I have an type(source item) called A. A has relationship called B, which relates A to C(related item) I wrote a VB server event and in related item(C) onafteradd to execute I want to get the properties of the source item before the relationship item is saved (onafteradd) and make a judgment with the properties of the relationship item. my question is: I'm trying to find the source_id of the relationship(B) to get the source item(A). But I can't find the source id of the relationship because it's a new relationship that hasn't been created yet. Dim B_relid As string = Me.getProperty("id") Dim B as Item = Me.newItem("B","get") B.setAttribute("select","source_id") B.setProperty("related_id",B_relid) B = B.apply() Dim A_id as String = B.getproperty("source_id") Dim A As Item = myInnovator.GetItemById("A", A_id) ' error because A_id is empty Dim A1 As string =A.getProperty("a1") Can anyone tell me the code how to get the source item property using VB? Thank you!
Aras Itemtype server events behavior
Hi all, i am trying to understand behavior of server events attached to an Itemtype, Let us say "add_prefix_to_document_name" is a method which is present on onBeforeGet event of Document itemtype, now, when i load any Part for ex : ABCD is a Part, which contains 25 documents attached to it, so, the "add_prefix_to_document_name" should get called for 25 times but it is getting called only once... why is this happening ? is my understanding wrong about this ? please help Thanks in advance, Lokesh.
