Get parameter values

[Hariharan_RadhakrishnanPCEKW]

I need to get Parameter values of the Element, When I tried in Python inside dynamo, it is possible by using 

paramNames = []
params = ele.Parameters;
for param in params:
    paramNames.Add(param.Definition.Name)

same thing, if I tried to get in C#, there I am getting Error

FilteredElementCollector foc = new FilteredElementCollector(d).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_PipeCurves).WhereElementIsNotElementType();

List<Element> pipeElement = foc.ToElements().ToList();

foreach(Element pEle in pipeElement)
{
List<Parameter> para = new List<Parameter>();

ParameterSet pd = pEle.Parameters;

foreach (ParameterSet ele in pd)
{

ele.Definition

}

}

In a type safe language when you declare types they have to be the right types (can be cast to). I think this is just a minor error as below:

foreach (ParameterSet ele in pd)
{
Definition Def = ele.Definition

}

}

Then you need to do something with the Definition within the foreach loop but I don't think you actually need the definition if all you are aiming to do is get the value from the parameter 'ele' but you are getting the name not the value so perhaps that is my confusion?

Would be easier to understand if 'ele' was instead called something similar to 'Param' and 'pipeElement' was plural to indicate it is a collection not a single object.

None of this has anything to do with the RevitAPI, if you are learning C# or the consequences of using it instead of Python then there are better places to start in my view. Learn the syntax and principles of language first and then add the RevitAPI specifics would be my approach.

Hi @Hariharan_RadhakrishnanPCEKW ,

foreach (Element pEle in pipeElement)
{

foreach (Parameter param in pEle.Parameters)
{

string paramName = param.Definition.Name;

}

}
