EA Object Model - how to get stereotype of Stereotyped Relationships

[jk31434]

Hello,

I'm working on a plugin to export profiles to an xml. For my application, I cannot use the built-in "Publish Package as UML Profile".

The profiles that I will be exporting make frequent use of "stereotyped relationships" and "metarelationships" to constrain the profiles. I'm trying to output the details of the metamodel constraints.

In parsing the profiles, I cannot figure out how to get the stereotype that is used in the stereotyped relationship. What I mean is: I can get the ea_type = Dependency and stereotype = stereotyped relationship, but I cannot find the actual stereotype constraint. Shown in the image: https://imgur.com/a/rF4m6iD

How can I get this property from the object model? I'm writing my plugin in C# if it makes a difference.

Thank you in advance for your help.

That property is in a connector tagged value. (It's on a connector and it appears in a group under the stereotype.)

Thank you very much for the response. After referencing the documentation I've tried several options, with no success.

I have the EA connector, and am trying to get the text value of the tagged value:

Code: [Select]

text = connector.TaggedValues.GetByName("stereotype")which returns a _ComObject. I've tried using the GetAttribute("stereotype"), and the Value property, but have been unsuccessful. Do you know what methods I need to call from here?

GetByName Notes: Gets an item in the current collection by name. Supported for Model, Package, Element, Diagram and element TaggedValue collections.

You'll need to iterate it manually.

Thank you so much! For those wondering, my solution looked something like this:

Code: [Select]

foreach (EA.ConnectorTag t_value in connector.TaggedValues)
{
(use t_value.Value to get the stereotyped relationship type)
}
