   ByVal entId As Integer, _
   ByVal itemId As String, _
   ByVal reasGrpType As Nullable(Of Integer) _
) As DataSet

'Usage
 
Dim entId As Integer
Dim itemId As String
Dim reasGrpType As Nullable(Of Integer)
Dim value As DataSet
 
value = ItemReasGrpEntLink.GetReasons(entId, itemId, reasGrpType)

public static DataSet GetReasons( 
   int entId,
   string itemId,
   Nullable<int> reasGrpType
)

Parameters

entId: Required. Holds the ID of the entity.
itemId: Optional filter parameter. Holds the ID of an item.
reasGrpType: Optional filter parameter. Holds an enumeration that specifies an item reason group type.

Return Value

Returns a DataSet that contains all the item reasons in the Item_Reas_Grp_Ent_Link table that are associated with the specified entity and any of its ancestors.

If the optional item class ID is supplied, then all the item reasons the Item_Reas_Grp_Class_Link table that are associated with that item class are included in the DataSet.

If no matching records are found, an empty DataSet is returned.
