Getting the value of a field with a domain returns the description not the code

Gfreitag

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with a search cursor the I would like some insight into. I've noticed that usually, if a field has a domain, getting the field value of a specific row returns the code of that domain, rather than the description. Recently, however, one field with a domain has started returning the description instead of the code, when it hadn't before.

I'm curious how the row object decides which to use, and how I can fix the domain or my code to grab the code again instead. Here's a simplified example of how I am grabbing the value of the field:

 

using (RowCursor rowCursor = table.Search(queryFilter, false))
{
    while (rowCursor.MoveNext())
    {
        using (Row row = rowCursor.Current)
        {
             string code = (string)row["fieldname"]);
        }
    }
}

 Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Take a look at the ProSnippets code. Call the snippet function to get the value from field.
