How do you use PropertySelector in a DeviceStatusInfo Search?

Original Poster

In the below code, how do I replace ExcludeExceptionEvents property as its being deprecated? and how do I use PropertySelector in this case?

private object[][] BuildDeviceStatusInfoCalls(List<Device> devices)

{

object[][] logRecordCalls = new object[devices.Count][];

~~PropertySelector prop = new PropertySelector();~~

~~prop.Fields = new List<string>();~~

~~prop.Fields.Add("exceptionEvents");~~

~~prop.IsIncluded = true;~~

for (int i = 0; i < devices.Count; i++)

{

logRecordCalls[i] = new object[4];

logRecordCalls[i][0] = "Get";

logRecordCalls[i][1] = typeof(DeviceStatusInfo);

logRecordCalls[i][2] = new

{

search = new DeviceStatusInfoSearch()

{

DeviceSearch = new DeviceSearch()

{

Id = devices[i].Id

ExcludeExceptionEvents = true

}

};

logRecordCalls[i][3] = typeof(List<DeviceStatusInfo>);

}

return logRecordCalls;

}

What you have crossed out in your example is pretty close. You would build that PropertySelector and make sure to include it with every Get call you're making, but set `IsIncluded` to `false`. That will make it so any fields you specify are excluded from the result.

// Make your DeviceStatusInfoSearch objects the same way, but
// without `ExcludeExceptionEvents` set
search = new DeviceStatusInfoSearch
{
    DeviceSearch = new DeviceSearch(devices[i].Id)
};
 
// Then wherever you're making the Get calls, make this PropertySelector
var propertySelector = new PropertySelector
{
    Fields = [ nameof(DeviceStatusInfo.ExceptionEvents) ],
    IsIncluded = false  // this will ensure the Fields you specify *are not* included
};
 
// You can use the same property selector with each of your searches
foreach (var search in searches)
{
    var result = await api.CallAsync<List<DeviceStatusInfo>>(
        "Get", 
        typeof(DeviceStatusInfo),
        new { search, propertySelector }
    );
 
    // ... do something with the result
}

This is the full solution in C# for a multi-Call:

private object[][] BuildDeviceStatusInfoCalls(List<Device> devices)

{

object[][] logRecordCalls = new object[devices.Count][];

PropertySelector prop = new PropertySelector

{

Fields = [nameof(DeviceStatusInfo.ExceptionEvents)],

IsIncluded = false // this will ensure the Fields specified are NOT included

};
