IEntityObjectsManagement.GetRelatedObjects Method (ICollection, EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria, TraversalDepth, ObjectQueryOptions)

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Gets a collection of management pack objects that are related to the list of identifiers, from any containment relationship. This is further filtered by the search criteria, traversal depth, and query options.

Namespace: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement
Assembly: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core (in Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim instance As IEntityObjectsManagement
Dim instanceIds As ICollection(Of Guid)
Dim criteria As EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria
Dim traversalDepth As TraversalDepth
Dim queryOptions As ObjectQueryOptions
Dim returnValue As Dictionary(Of Guid, IList(Of T))

returnValue = instance.GetRelatedObjects(instanceIds, criteria, traversalDepth, queryOptions)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function GetRelatedObjects(Of T As EnterpriseManagementObject) ( _
    instanceIds As ICollection(Of Guid), _
    criteria As EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria, _
    traversalDepth As TraversalDepth, _
    queryOptions As ObjectQueryOptions _
) As Dictionary(Of Guid, IList(Of T))

Dictionary<Guid,IList<T>> GetRelatedObjects<T> (
    ICollection<Guid> instanceIds,
    EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria criteria,
    TraversalDepth traversalDepth,
    ObjectQueryOptions queryOptions
) where T : EnterpriseManagementObject

    ICollection<Guid>^ instanceIds, 
    EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria^ criteria, 
    TraversalDepth traversalDepth, 
    ObjectQueryOptions^ queryOptions
)

GenericParameters

• T
  The type to cast the management pack instances as.

Parameters

• instanceIds
  List of unique object identifiers.

• criteria
  The criteria to scope the query by.

• traversalDepth
  One of the enumeration values.

• queryOptions
  The query options.

Return Value

A dictionary object of discovered objects.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The returned instances are null (Nothing in Visual Basic) or the criteria parameter is a null reference.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The returned instances are empty.
InvalidOperationException	The returned instances contains duplicates.
