Hi @rodrigohbm,

You need to look at ViewSheet.GetAllPlacedViews.

The remarks for this function state:

'Schedules on the sheet are not returned by this method. Use ScheduleSheetInstance.OwnerViewId to find the sheet on which a schedule is placed.'

You may also get the contents of a sheet using the filteredelementcollector overload that allows you to specify a view elementId. (This is another way to get the ScheduleSheetInstance/s and hence their ScheduleSheetInstance.ScheduleId.

Thank you

I found the following code   But it produces an error

I am working revit 2015 and sharpdevelop

Sub Button4Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        
        Dim doc As Document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document
        
    Dim data As String = ""
    For Each v As View In New FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(GetType(View))
        Dim thisSheet As String = ""
        For Each vs As ViewSheet In New FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(GetType(ViewSheet)).Cast(Of ViewSheet)()
            For Each view As View In vs.Views
                If view.Id = v.Id Then
                    thisSheet += vs.Name + " - " + vs.SheetNumber + ", "
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
        Next
        If thisSheet <> "" Then
            data += v.ViewType + " - " + v.Name + ": " + thisSheet.TrimEnd(" "C, ","C) + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine
        End If
    Next
    TaskDialog.Show("Sheet Report", data)
        
    End Sub

Hi @rodrigohbm,

It's helpful to separate your UI/form from the rest of your code. You will then be able to re-use your UI/form for other applications.

This method will also fix what I believe is going on. It looks like a namespace issue. System.Windows.Forms.View is clashing with Autodesk.Revit.DB.View.

If you change the two instances of 'View' that are underlined in red, and a third on line 453, with Autodesk.Revit.DB.View, you should be fine.

That all said, I don't believe your code suits your post subject.

What are you actually trying to do? Specifically.

I am trying to generate a sheet report

The code itself I got it from a web page but this was in C#

But when transforming it to vb.net

Generate version errors

And that's where I'm locked

Gotcha.
Use a converter like this:

Then, all you need are import statements for
Autodesk.Revit.Db
Autodesk.Revit.ui

Use a vb.Net visual studio template from thebuildingcoder.
http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/wizard/
That'll take care of the smaller details like implementing iexternalcommand
There are probably revit 2015 ones around on that link somewhere.
If you haven't read through the first two posts on this forum, they are a must read!!!

Good luck.
