foreach( Element e in Elmnts)

   String content = doc.GetElement(e.Id).LookupParamater("GetParameterValue2").AsValueString();

Alright, this depends on the type of the parameter which name is written here so sometimes .AsValueString() works , other time .Asdouble() works and so on, so try to cast it with these different methods until you get the right method to go with.

Hi,

it seems that you just want to get the elements' IDs.

That's just: yourElement.Id.IntegerValue

Are you sure your parameter is named like a function, "GetParameterValue2" ?

The Null exception indicates that the given Element does not have such a parameter.

Also, if your Element does not have the desired parameter, it may be that it is attached to the Element's ElementType.

Hi,

the method to use depends on the parameter's StorageType, I think ?

So no need to test all variants...
