Hi Juan,

The response is of type ElementInfoEventMessage (when sent via _dms.SendSingleResponseMessage, otherwise the response is DMSMessage[] containing a single ElementInfoEventMessage)

NOTE: SLNet messages are not guaranteed to have a stable API.

Consider using a better supported alternative: IDms.GetElement(string) from the dataminersystem library.

See: About the DataMinerSystem library

Hi Juan,

In a GQI, you can obtain a reference to IDms within the OnInit Method:

public OnInitOutputArgs OnInit(OnInitInputArgs args)
{
// Initialize the data source
// See: https://aka.dataminer.services/igqioninit-oninit
_dms = args.DMS.GetConnection().GetDms();
}

on the public inInit the args.DMS has no contains "Getconnection()" could it be for version of libraries or have to install some one on Nuget?

Hi Juan,
The GetConnection method was added in DataMiner 10.4.6/10.5.0, could it be that you're using an older version of the NuGet?
