Hi,
I've got a business object Batch which inherit from XPCustomObject.
I would like to retrieve the XPClassInfo.
How can I achieve that?
Kind regards,

Hello Paul,
You can use the ClassInfo property of the object's instance to get its XPClassInfo. To get a class' metadata without a persistent object's instance, use the following approaches:
XPO
Get XPDictionary using the Session.Dictionary property and use the XPDictionary.GetClassInfo method.
XAF
Get ITypeInfo using the XafTypesInfo.Instance.FindTypeInfo method. Refer to the Access Business Object Metadata topic for details. This approach should be sufficient for most metadata-related tasks in an XAF application. If you still need to get the XPClassInfo instance, use the XpoTypesInfoHelper.GetXpoTypeInfoSource method.

Alternatively, you can use session.GetClassInfo(typeToCheck);
E.g.:
C#XPClassInfo result = null;
try
{
result = session.GetClassInfo(typeToCheck);
}
catch (Exception)
{
if (throwErrors)
throw;
}
return result;
