EntityColumnMetadataCollection Class
Members  Example 
WebReports.Api.Reports Namespace : EntityColumnMetadataCollection Class
A collection of metadata objects, one for each column in an Entity (Data Object). Do not instantiate this collection, instead access the metadata through the Entity.ColumnMetadatas Property.
Syntax
public class EntityColumnMetadataCollection 
Remarks

Collection classes are enumerable Lists of a specific object type.

See the Example section for ways to iterate through and manipulate Collections.

Example
Various ways to interact with Collection objects.
/* Usings */
using System.Linq;
using WebReports.Api;
using WebReports.Api.Common;

/* Namespace and Class definitions omitted */

Logger Logger = Log.GetLogger();
Api Api = new Api("/Exago/");

EntityCollection Entities = Api.Entities; // get the static Api.Entities Collection by reference

foreach (Entity Entity in Entities) // iterate through the EntityCollection and log all items
    Logger.InfoFormat("Original - Entity: '{0}'", Entity.Name);

// List methods may be overridden or overloaded depending on the Collection type
Entities.Add(new Entity(Api.PageInfo, "Customers")); // add a new Entity "Customers" to Entities
Entities.Remove(Entities.GetEntity("Orders")); // remove Entity "Orders" from Entities

foreach (Entity Entity in Entities) // iterate and log again
    Logger.InfoFormat("Modified - Entity: '{0}'", Entity.Name);

// Standard List and IEnumerable Linq methods can be used on Collection objects
Entities.OrderBy(Entity => Entity.Name) // sort Entities by Entity.Name
// (Order does not matter for every Collection type)

// Iterate and log again, this time using List<T>.ForEach
Entities.ForEach(Entity => Logger.InfoFormat("Sorted - Entity: '{0}'", Entity.Name));

/*
This code writes the following output to the Exago logfile (in an example configuration):

Original - Entity: 'Orders'
Original - Entity: 'Products'
Modified - Entity: 'Products'
Modified - Entity: 'Customers'
Sorted - Entity: 'Customers'
Sorted - Entity: 'Products'
