Getting a list of Kentico contact fields

Mike Rocha asked on September 8, 2014 21:34

I'm looking to develop a module for mapping data from an external database to Kentico on-line marketing contacts. Is there an easy way to list the field names and captions for all standard and custom fields from the built-in OM.Contact class?

Hi Mike,

Have a look at CMS.FormEngine.FormHelper.GetFormInfo method. It takes one or more class names and returns FormInfo object representing form definition. You can use GetFields method of the FormInfo object to get more details on individual fields including field name, type, default value, etc.

FormInfo fi = FormHelper.GetFormInfo("OM.Contact", false);
var fields = fi.GetFields(true, true);
foreach (FormFieldInfo field in fields)
{
  // Do stuff with field.Caption or field.Name
}
