# clsImageDocumentNameCodeCollection

`clsImageDocumentNameCodeCollection` is a BOF collection wrapper for `clsImageDocumentNameCode`. It exposes one helper for loading the full localized code list and another for resolving a document-name code from `INTERNAL_DESCR`.

## Purpose
- Loads all `IMAGE_DOCUMENT_NAME_CODE` rows using the base retrieve SQL from `clsImageDocumentNameCode.Criteria`.
- Resolves a single document-name code by uppercase `INTERNAL_DESCR`, returning `String.Empty` when the lookup is not unique.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Imaging`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Business.Imaging`

## Public members

| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GetImageDocumentNameCodes` | `Public Shared Function GetImageDocumentNameCodes(ByVal inDPI As IDataPortalInfo, Optional cultureCode As String = "en") As clsImageDocumentNameCodeCollection` | Loads the full document-name-code collection with localized `code_descr` fallback behavior controlled by the supplied culture code. |
| `GetImageDocumentCodeByInternalDescr` | `Public Shared Function GetImageDocumentCodeByInternalDescr(inDPI As IDataPortalInfo, inInternalDescr As String, Optional cultureCode As String = "en") As String` | Retrieves the single matching code whose `INTERNAL_DESCR` equals the uppercased input; otherwise returns `String.Empty`. |

## Behavioral notes
- Both helpers reuse `clsImageDocumentNameCode.Criteria.RetrieveSqlStatement` and execute through `clsBusinessCollection(Of clsImageDocumentNameCode).Load`.
- `GetImageDocumentCodeByInternalDescr` appends `upper(INTERNAL_DESCR) = :InternalDescr` to the base retrieve SQL before loading.

## Constraints and usage notes
- `GetImageDocumentCodeByInternalDescr` only returns a value when exactly one row matches; zero or multiple matches both collapse to `String.Empty`.
