Exporting Databases

Hi.

I know that the Databases.GetDatabasesData(symbol, databaseName, fieldName) function can be used to get the data belonging to a database,
but in order to use this, I was wondering if there is any way to programatically get a list of the field names belonging to a database.
Also to get a list of Databases for an Account, although I guess that could just be done by looking in the directory of the Account.

Essentially what I would like to do is

Foreach Database in Account.Databases
Foreach Field in Database.Fields
...

Or can this only be done by hard coding a list of each database and field?

Thanks,

Graeme

Currently, it is not possible to get databases and fields programmatically. We will add two functions in the next release.

Yes, you can hard code these lists.

Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
ArrayList fields1 = new ArrayList();
fields1.Add("Field 1");
fields1.Add("Field 2");
hash.Add("Database 1", fields1);

foreach(string database in hash.Keys)
{
ArrayList fields = (ArrayList)hash[database];
foreach(string field in fields)
{
MessageBox.Show(database + " - " + field);
}
}
