Remarks

Since the GetTypesInfo method is static, you can call in from any appropriate context. However, it is recommended to call the XpoTypesInfoHelper.ForceInitialize method before using GetTypesInfo, because the required metadata information may be not initialized yet.

C#

using DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Xpo;
// ...
XpoTypesInfoHelper.ForceInitialize();
ITypesInfo typesInfo = XpoTypesInfoHelper.GetTypesInfo();

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC
Imports DevExpress.ExpressApp.Xpo
' ...
XpoTypesInfoHelper.ForceInitialize()
Dim typesInfo As ITypesInfo = XpoTypesInfoHelper.GetTypesInfo()
