How to get all components of a bundle using TOM .NET

Question

Looking for a sample TOM .NET code how to get all the components of a bundle and then process each component one by one as per their metadata value. Any pointers here , thanks

Answer 1

A bundle is an OrganizationalItem just like a folder or a structure group. You can get the items in the bundle with the GetListItems() method. If you only want to get components, you can use a filter like this:

// session can be obtained from any Tridion object (e.g. a component, page, etc)
var bundle = session.GetObject("tcm:3-123-2") as Bundle;
var filter = new OrganizationalItemItemsFilter(session) 
{ 
    ItemTypes = new[] { ItemType.Component } 
};
var items = bundle.GetListItems(filter);

Besides all Q mentioned, you don't even need to use filter. Bundle has all IDs in source:

<Bundle xmlns="http://www.sdltridion.com/ContentManager/Bundle">
    <Items xmlns="http://www.sdltridion.com/ContentManager/Bundle">
        <Item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-2123" xlink:title="title333"></Item>
        <Item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-3543" xlink:title="Page details"></Item>
        <Item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-3453" xlink:title="Battery"></Item>
        <Item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-34325" xlink:title="Download"></Item>
        <Item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-345" xlink:title="title2"></Item>
    </Items>

So all you need is just extract IDs from the source using LINQ. One less call to Core service.
