Displaying properties of a Documentum object

When working with Documentum TypedObjects, you almost always need to retrieve their properties. Below is a method to print those properties to the Console. Notice, that this example uses the getAllRepeatingStrings() method – a useful method for displaying values to the user, but not very useful if you need to process and work with the actual values.

public static void DisplayItem(IDfTypedObject obj)
{
    if (obj == null)
        return;
    Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------");
    int attrCount = obj.getAttrCount();
    for (int i = 0; i< attrCount; i++)
    {
        IDfAttr attr = null;
        try
        {
            attr = obj.getAttr(i);
            string attrName = attr.getName();
            Console.Write(attrName + ": ");
            if (!obj.hasAttr(attrName) || obj.isNull(attrName))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("NULL");
                continue;
            }
            Console.WriteLine(obj.getAllRepeatingStrings(attrName, "; "));
        }
        finally
        {
            NAR(attr);
            attr = null;
        }
    }
}
