Cognos 8 SDK -- get report attributes

Have you ever wanted to query the Cognos 8 Content Store to retrieve a report’s attributes by using the Cognos 8 SDK? 

 

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a specific Cognos 8 SDK method that will handle this.  However, there is a work around that you can use with the Cognos 8 SDK.  You would retrieve the Cognos 8 Report Studio report xml schema by using the SDK and then in your SDK project you would parse the xml nodes for a series of specified report nodes.  You would have to become familiar with the expected Cognos 8 report schema elements.
