FindObject method from Package class

[Pedro]

Hello,

I have a Package hierarchy in a given model. I'm trying to use the p.FindObject(dottedID) method to get a reference for a desired package in that hierarchy.

I'm obtaining the dotted IDs directly from EA by right click -> copy reference -> copy Node path to clipboard.

Every time I got the same error: Can't find matching object.

Please, advise. My current code:

 

Code: [Select]

Repository r = new Repository();
            r.OpenFile(projectPath);

            foreach (Package m in r.Models)
            {
                foreach (var name in packageList)
                {
                    var a = m.FindObject(name);
}
}

Why don't you use Copy/GUID and use Repository.GetElementByGUID(guid)?

I'm not sure if that operation really works, I've never used it anyway.
I did however implement my own operations to select something based on a fully qualified name, and based on a GUID.
Both are Implemented in the EA Navigator
The code is available on Github
