GetByName : Action is not supported

[The apprentice]

Hi

I need to get a EA Attribut and I use GetByname but i have the same problem :

Code: [Select]

if (element.Attributes.GetByName(o) != null)

I didn't understand why "Action is not supported" despite the documentation of this operation.

Thank you.

What is "the same problem"? Any error messages?

GetByName only works for a limited set of EA.Collections.

But I wouldn't use it anyway if I were you. It will only return the "first" element with the given name, but you don't know in which order that will be.

Better to pretend GetByName doesn't exist and always "for each" the collection and test for the name.
