Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains the Dim_1 dictionary that contains two parameters.

Sub Main;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    MDesc: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
    ParamVal: IMetabaseObjectParamValues;
    MInst: IMetabaseObjectInstance;
    Dict: IDimInstance;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    MDesc := MB.ItemById("Dim_1");
    ParamVal := MDesc.Params.CreateEmptyValues;
    ParamVal.Item(0).Value := 1;
    ParamVal.Item(1).Value := 10;
    MInst := MDesc.Open(ParamVal);
    Dict := MInst As IDimInstance;
    Debug.WriteLine(Dict.Elements.Count);
End Sub Main;

After executing the example, the specified dictionary will be opened. Before opening an empty collection is created, then parameters values are assigned. Number of collection elements received after opening is displayed in the development environment console.
