How to get Bookmark Set expression using .NET SDK

[marksouzacosta]

Good day everyone,

Using the .NET SDK I was able to return from an App its Bookmarks with the following properties:

• Title
• Description
• SelectionFields
• SheetID

However, I'm looking for a way to get the Set expression as illustrated in the screen shot below:

Any help you this will be very appreciated.

Thank you,

Mark Costa

There's a method called "GetSetAnalysis" which is called on the app. You'll find it's documentation at this page (though you'll have to scroll quite far down to get to it, so a search is a good idea...):

The signature of the method looks like this:

public string GetSetAnalysis([QixName("qStateName")] string stateName = null, [QixName("qBookmarkId")] string bookmarkId = null)

You rock again Yko. Thank you very much. It worked.

For the ones facing the same challenge, here is part of my test code to capture the Bookmark Set Analysis:

I'm glad it worked out for you! I was at first rather surprised to see that that method was an App method and not a member of the class GenericBookmark, but the reason is that you can call the method without a bookmark ID in which case you get the set analysis for the current selection. Learning something every day!

Is there any way to set the Set expression of a bookmark?

I am trying to create a bookmark with the expression obtained from GetSetAnalysis, but I have been able yet.

This is not possible I'm afraid. Bookmarks doesn't work that way. There are other threads here on the topic as well:

Hello,

How to create a new bookmark with  the Set expression?  Is that possible with the .NET SDK? 

NB. I think the above thread is about setExpression to an an exiting bookmark?
