Shared Parameters Elements categories

[Anonymous]

How to check if shared parameter is bound to a particular category, i hope can do this without family collector as is slower option.

//SHARED PARAMETER EXISTS - doesnt check if bound to a category todo

private static bool SPExistInProj(Document doc, string strShareParam)
{
bool existsSP = false;

FilteredElementCollector fec = new FilteredElementCollector(doc)
.OfClass(typeof(SharedParameterElement));
foreach (var r in fec)
{
SharedParameterElement shElem = r as SharedParameterElement;
InternalDefinition def = shElem.GetDefinition();
if (def.Name.Contains(strShareParam))
{
existsSP = true;
}
}

return existsSP;
}

You should be able to determine this from the BindingMap:
