❔ How to access variable from AccessibilityObject ?

I am trying to make canges to an old Winforms or Window forms application and my main goal is to populate a dropdown-menu with some values.

internal class OrderdocumentValuePickerEditor : UITypeEditor
    {
        
        IWindowsFormsEditorService m_editorService;

        public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
        {
            return UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown;
        }

        public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value)
        {
            m_editorService = (IWindowsFormsEditorService)provider.GetService(typeof(IWindowsFormsEditorService));
            Form f = Application.OpenForms["LabelmakerDesignForm"];

internal class OrderdocumentValuePickerEditor : UITypeEditor
    {
        
        IWindowsFormsEditorService m_editorService;

        public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
        {
            return UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown;
        }

        public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value)
        {
            m_editorService = (IWindowsFormsEditorService)provider.GetService(typeof(IWindowsFormsEditorService));
            Form f = Application.OpenForms["LabelmakerDesignForm"];

The EditValue function is called when I click on the dropdown and I am trying to access a public variable called m_orderdoc. If I search for a value in the orderdoc in the "locals" part of Visual studio I see that the m_orderdoc is located in: provider.AccessibilityObject -> PropertyGridView -> TopLevelControl -> m_orderdoc But how can I access this value? I also tried using Application.OpenForms to get a form that contains the variable. But I can't access it from there either even tho I see that f contains m_orderdoc.

❔ Creating a XML-document and adding subnodes

Can anyone show me how to use XmlDocument or XDocument to create a new Xml-document that has a "<root>" -node. Then in the loop writer.toString() is a new xmldocument in sting-format that I want to add to the root-node.

public static XmlDocument CreateOrderXML(string materialId)
        {
            Dictionary<string, object> dict = GetData(materialId).Result;

            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(@"<Root/>");

            foreach (var entry in dict)
            {

                using (var writer = new StringWriter())
                {

                    new XmlSerializer(Type.GetType(entry.Key)).Serialize(writer, entry.Value);
           
                    //XmlDocumentFragment fragment = xmlDoc.CreateDocumentFragment();
                    //fragment.InnerXml = writer.ToString();

                }

            }

            return xmlDoc;
        }

public static XmlDocument CreateOrderXML(string materialId)
        {
            Dictionary<string, object> dict = GetData(materialId).Result;

            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(@"<Root/>");

            foreach (var entry in dict)
            {

                using (var writer = new StringWriter())
                {

                    new XmlSerializer(Type.GetType(entry.Key)).Serialize(writer, entry.Value);
           
                    //XmlDocumentFragment fragment = xmlDoc.CreateDocumentFragment();
                    //fragment.InnerXml = writer.ToString();

                }

            }

            return xmlDoc;
        }

❔ Returning an async dictionary ?

I am calling this function from an api endpoint and want to return the results from the tasks. Right now I store all results in a dictionary but am returning a Task. Is there a better way to do this so that I just return the result as a plain dictionary instead of a Task ?

 public class DataGatherer
    {
        static async Task<Dictionary<string, object>> GetData()
        {
            Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            
            using HttpClient client = new();

            try
            {

                var tasks = new Task[] {
            Task.Run(async () => await ExternalTablesGatherer.ProcessRepositoriesAsync(client, "6382963", dict)),
            Task.Run(async () => await QueueDataGatherer.GetDataAsync(client, "6010081", dict))
        };

                await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

                return dict;
       
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(exception);
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

 public class DataGatherer
    {
        static async Task<Dictionary<string, object>> GetData()
        {
            Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            
            using HttpClient client = new();

            try
            {

                var tasks = new Task[] {
            Task.Run(async () => await ExternalTablesGatherer.ProcessRepositoriesAsync(client, "6382963", dict)),
            Task.Run(async () => await QueueDataGatherer.GetDataAsync(client, "6010081", dict))
        };

                await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

                return dict;
       
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(exception);
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

How do I get all DbSets from a Context ?

I have multiple DbSets where I query each set and parse the results like this:

  var result1 = _context.EXT_PRAMET_INSERTS.Where(x => x.MaterialID == MaterialID).ToList();
  var result2 = _context.EXT_DORMER.Where(x => x.MaterialID == MaterialID).ToList();
...

  var result1 = _context.EXT_PRAMET_INSERTS.Where(x => x.MaterialID == MaterialID).ToList();
  var result2 = _context.EXT_DORMER.Where(x => x.MaterialID == MaterialID).ToList();
...

How can I do the same using a loop where I iterate over each DbSet in the Context and use a query ?
