Die benutzerdefinierten Eigenschaften… die Idee von EPLAN war gut, aber die Umsetzung ist in meinen Augen nicht optimal.

Nichts desto Trotz müssen wir damit leben und das auch in der API. Es ist nicht ganz so einfach wie mit den “normalen” Eigenschaften.

Ich hab hier mal paar Methoden geschrieben um (Projekt-) Eigenschaften zu Lesen/Schreiben:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Eplan.EplApi.Base;
using Eplan.EplApi.DataModel;

namespace Suplanus.Sepla.Helper
{
	public class UserDefiniedPropertyUtility
	{
		public static PropertyValue GetProjectPropertyValueAndCheckIfEmpty(Project project, string identName)
		{
			PropertyValue propertyValue = GetProjectPropertyValue(project, identName);
			if (propertyValue.IsEmpty)
			{
				return null;
			}
			return propertyValue;
		}

		public static PropertyValue GetProjectPropertyValue(Project project, string identName)
		{
			UserDefinedPropertyDefinition userDefProp = project.Properties.ExistingIds
				.Select(anyPropertyId => anyPropertyId.Definition)
				.OfType<UserDefinedPropertyDefinition>()
				.FirstOrDefault(obj => obj.IdentifyingName.Equals(identName));
			if (userDefProp != null)
			{
				AnyPropertyId anyPropertyId = userDefProp.Id;
				PropertyValue propertyValue = project.Properties[anyPropertyId];
				return propertyValue;
			}
			return null;
		}

		public static void SetProjectPropertyValue(Project project, string identName, object value)
		{
			PropertyValue propertyValue = GetProjectPropertyValue(project, identName);
			if (propertyValue != null)
			{
				if (value is bool)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((bool)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is double)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((double)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is MultiLangString)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((MultiLangString)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is PointD)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((PointD)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is int)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((int)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is string)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((string)value);
					return;
				}
				if (value is DateTime)
				{
					propertyValue.Set((DateTime)value);
					return;
				}

				throw new Exception("Type not supported");
			}
			throw new Exception("Property not found");
		}
	}
}
