Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetModelsByName ( _
    wildcardedName As String, _
    callerCultureLcid As Integer, _
    partitionId As Guid _
) As ModelStruct()
'Usage
Dim instance As BusinessDataCatalogSharedServiceClient
Dim wildcardedName As String
Dim callerCultureLcid As Integer
Dim partitionId As Guid
Dim returnValue As ModelStruct()

returnValue = instance.GetModelsByName(wildcardedName, _
    callerCultureLcid, partitionId)

public ModelStruct[] GetModelsByName(
    string wildcardedName,
    int callerCultureLcid,
    Guid partitionId
)

Parameters

• wildcardedName
  Type: System.String

  The model name using a wildcard.

• callerCultureLcid
  Type: System.Int32

  The LCID of the locale to be used when retrieving the models.

• partitionId
  Type: System.Guid

  A Guid.Empty value.

Return Value

Type: []
The BDC models.

Exceptions

Remarks

BDC uses '*' as the wildcard character and the '\' as the escape character. For example, to obtain all external content types which have names starting with "C", and ending with "s*12", this method should be called with "C*s\*12". This will return both "Customers*12" and "Cs*12", but not "CratesOf12" or "Cs\*12".
