Hi Dojo,

What is the most performant way to retrieve all elements for a certain protocol?

Engine

var elements = engine.FindElementsByProtocol("protocol name", "protocol version");

Class Library

var dms = engine.GetDms();

var protocol = dms.GetProtocol("protocol name", "protocol version");
var elements = dms.GetElements().Where(x => x.Protocol == protocol);

Hi Jens, if performance is critical for you I would suggest using the engine.FindElementsByProtocol as it is using the GetLiteElementInfo SLNET Message in the background.

Right now, IDms is using multiple SLNET messages (GetInfo + GetElementByIDMessage) for this. Note that the GetProtocol call would also imply requesting more information than needed (GetProtocolMessage).

Kind Regards,
Jarno
