.Net SDK - GetCurrentSelection obsolete

Hi,

I am getting the current selection of an app. Using the latest Qlik Sense .Net SDK.

var res = app.GetCurrentSelection().Selections.ToArray()[0].Selected;

However this method is obsolete/deprecated. I am confused on what method I should use instead as I can't find any documentation about it.

It says to use Layout reference: Layout.SelectionObject.Selections but I can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks for any help, it is much appreciated.

I believe it's the Selections property that is marked obsolete. The new path via Layout is:

app.GetCurrentSelection().Layout.SelectionObject.Selections

Also, be aware that the "GetCurrentSelection" method creates a session object. So if you intend to call that method often, then it might be a good idea to simply save the returned object and reuse it instead of creating a new one each time.
