Dynamics Crm: Get metadata for statuscode/statecode mapping

Question

In Dynamics CRM 2011, on the Incident entity, the "Status Reason" optionset (aka statuscode) is related to the "Status" optionset (aka statecode)

e.g. see this screenshot

When I use the API to retrieve the Status Reason optionset, like so:

        RetrieveAttributeRequest attributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest
        {
            EntityLogicalName = "incident",
            LogicalName = "statuscode",
            RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
        };
        RetrieveAttributeResponse attributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)serv.Execute(attributeRequest);
        AttributeMetadata attrMetadata = (AttributeMetadata)attributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;
        StatusAttributeMetadata statusMetadata = (StatusAttributeMetadata)attrMetadata;
        var dict = new Dictionary<int?, string>();
        foreach (OptionMetadata optionMeta in statusMetadata.OptionSet.Options)
        {
            dict.Add(optionMeta.Value, optionMeta.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label);
        }

It works in that I get the whole list of "Status Reason" (statuscode) options. However, I dont get any info about which "Status Reason" (statuscode) options relate to which "Status" (statecode) options.

How do I get that information?

You already have everything try insert this code inside of foreach:

 int stateOptionValue = (int)((StatusOptionMetadata)optionMeta).State;

See StatusAttributeMetaData.OptionSet.Options hierarchy can return a type called StatusOptionMetadata if you use the State property of the StatusOptionMetadata, it will return the statecode this statuscode belongs to.
