Obtaining sObject Describe Results Using Tokens

Posted bySandeep KumarPosted inUncategorized
To access the describe result for an sObject, use one of the following methods:

  • Call the getDescribe method on an sObject token.
  • Use the Schema sObjectType static variable with the name of the sObject. For example, Schema.sObjectType.Lead.
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult is the data type for an sObject describe result.
The following example uses the getDescribe method on an sObject token:
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult dsr = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();
The following example uses the Schema sObjectType static member variable:

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult dsr = Schema.SObjectType.Account;
