Retrieving value of attribute of custom entity

[techno]

Hi

apologies if this has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything when searching through previous posts.

I have created a custom entity, created a series of fields and these are saved to the database correctly and I can save data to these fields for contacts...and all seems good with the world

When I created these fields I added attibutes :

var field = new FieldDescriptor("Min Weight", "MIN_WEIGHT", descriptor, FieldDataType.Decimal);


field.Attributes[FieldProperty.DecimalPrecision] = new Act.Framework.Database.CurrencyPrecisionAttribute(leftPrecision, rightPrecision);


Framework.Fields.Save(actField);

Now I want to get the value of these attibutes, so for instance I want to know the left & right precision of "Min Weight".

What is the best method to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Something like the following should work

Act.Framework.Database.DecimalPrecisionAttribute att = (Act.Framework.Database.DecimalPrecisionAttribute)field.Attributes[FieldProperty.DecimalPrecision];

MessageBox.Show(att.LeftPrecision.ToString());

Something like the following should work

Act.Framework.Database.DecimalPrecisionAttribute att = (Act.Framework.Database.DecimalPrecisionAttribute)field.Attributes[FieldProperty.DecimalPrecision];

MessageBox.Show(att.LeftPrecision.ToString());
