Get derived classes

Get derived classes

You can get directly derived classes by using the GetSubClasses method of the IClass object.

public void GetSubClasses(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
//Get metamodels 
IMetamodels metamodels = c.App.Workspace.CurrentProject.Profile.Metamodels; 

//Get the class of "EntityBase" 
IClass cls = metamodels.GetClass("EntityBase"); 

//Print the class name 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("sample", $"Class: {cls.DisplayName}"); 

//Get derived classes 
IClassCollection subClasses = cls.GetSubClasses(); 
foreach (var subClass in subClasses) 
{ 
//Print the class name 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("sample", $"SubClass: {subClass.DisplayName}"); 
} 
} 

Get all derived classes

You can get all derived classes, including the derived classes of derived classes, by using the GetAllSubClasses method of the IClass object.

public void GetAllSubClasses(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
//Get metamodels 
IMetamodels metamodels = c.App.Workspace.CurrentProject.Profile.Metamodels; 

//Get the root model base class 
IClass cls = metamodels.GetClass("RootModelBase"); 

//Print the class name 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("sample", $"Class: {cls.DisplayName}"); 

//Get all derived classes 
IClassCollection subClasses = cls.GetAllSubClasses(); 
foreach (var subClass in subClasses) 
{ 
//Print the class name 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("sample", $"SuperClass: {subClass.DisplayName}"); 
} 
}
