BasedOnSchemas option in Tridion 2011 CoreService

tridion, tridion-2011

Solution

Using both `BasedOnSchemas` and `Recursive = true` is not supported. Remove the the recursiveness and you'll find that the schema filter works.

If you want to get a "recursive" list of all Components for a certain Schema, consider doing a WhereUsed on the Schema.

GetListXml("tcm:5-59-8", new UsingItemsFilterData())

Problem

I'm trying to understand the purpose of the BasedOnSchemas option in the OrganizationalItemItemsFilterData filter. The documentation clearly states: "Gets or sets the BasedOnSchemas condition to return only items that are using the given schemas" So it should be possible to only retrieve components of a specific schema, right? here's my code: ``` LinkToSchemaData[] schemaLinks = new[] { new LinkToSchemaData { IdRef = "tcm:113-362325-8" } }; OrganizationalItemItemsFilterData filter = new OrganizationalItemItemsFilterData(); filter.BaseColumns = ListBaseColumns.Extended; filter.ItemTypes = new ItemType[] { ItemType.Component }; filter.Recursive = true; filter.BasedOnSchemas = schemaLinks; XElement items = client.GetListXml("tcm:113-14192-2", filter); ``` The XElement `items` will however, contain multiple types of components, not only those of schema tcm:113-362325-8 How can I retrieve only those components that are based on my schema?
