Method TypeKeyOf

Namespace: DocWright.Reporting

Assembly: DocWright.Reporting.dll

TypeKeyOf(RdlElement)

Resolves the schema type of an element in this definition.

public string? TypeKeyOf(RdlElement element)

Parameters

element RdlElement: The element to resolve.

Returns

string: The type key, or null when the element is not in this definition or the schema does not describe it — which is the normal answer for the designer namespace.

Remarks

Resolved by walking from the root, because an element's local name does not identify it: Top is a size under a report item and a percentage under a chart's element position. The walk is linear in the size of the definition and holds no cache, so a caller resolving many elements should walk once itself rather than call this in a loop.
