+# Dynamic Data API: access to complex member example
+
+## Concept
+
+*Dynamic Data API* allows to create topic samples in a programmatically manner
+without defining an IDL in compile time.
+
+This example shows how to access enum ordinal values by name from a
+dynamic data object.
+
+## Example description
+
+In this example, we show three different scenarios to get the ordinal value of
+an enum member by using `DynamicData` and `DynamicType` elements.
+
+The first scenario shows how to get the enum member ordinal value from a
+`DynamicType`. In this case, you have to specify the enum field name and
+the enum element string. In this case, there is a translation from the
+`DynamicType` into a `StructType` and then the element into an `EnumType`.
+
+In the second scenario, a for loop iterates through all elements and check
+which one is an `ENUMERATION_TYPE`. Then, if this enum is the type that we are
+looking for, then it prints the specified values.
+
+In the third scenario, the `EnumType` is gotten from the a DynamicData by using
+the `member_type` API.

+# Example code: Get Enum Ordinals in Dynamic Data
+
+## Building the Example :wrench:
+
+To build this example, first run CMake to generate the corresponding build
+files. We recommend you use a separate directory to store all the generated
+files (e.g., ./build).
+
+```sh
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+```
+
+Once you have run CMake, you will find a number of new files in your build
+directory (the list of generated files will depend on the specific CMake
+Generator). To build the example, run CMake as follows:
+
+```sh
+cmake --build .
+```
+
+**Note**: if you are using a multi-configuration generator, such as Visual
+Studio solutions, you can specify the configuration mode to build as follows:
+
+```sh
+cmake --build . --config Release|Debug
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can use directly the generated infrastructure (e.g.,
+Makefiles or Visual Studio Solutions) to build the example. If you generated
+Makefiles in the configuration process, run make to build the example. Likewise,
+if you generated a Visual Studio solution, open the solution and follow the
+regular build process.
+
+## Running the Example
+
+Run the following command from the example directory to execute the application.
+
+On *UNIX* systems:
+
+```bash
+./dynamic_data_enum_example
+```
+
+On *Windows* Systems:
+
+```bash
+dynamic_data_enum_example
+```
+
+## Customizing the Build
+
+### Configuring Build Type and Generator
+
+By default, CMake will generate build files using the most common generator for
+your host platform (e.g., Makefiles on Unix-like systems and Visual Studio
+Solutions on Windows). You can use the following CMake variables to modify the
+default behavior:
+
+-   `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` - specifies the build mode. Valid values are `Release`
+    and `Debug`. See the [CMake documentation for more details
+    (Optional)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html).
+
+-   `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS` - specifies the link mode. Valid values are `ON` for
+    dynamic linking and `OFF` for static linking. See [CMake documentation for
+    more details
+    (Optional)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html).
+
+-   `-G` - CMake generator. The generator is the native build system used to
+    build the source code. All the valid values are described in the CMake
+    documentation for [CMake
+    Generators](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html).
+
+For example, to build an example in Debug/Dynamic mode run CMake as follows:
+
+```sh
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A x64
+```
+
+### Configuring Connext Installation Path and Architecture
+
+The CMake build infrastructure will try to guess the location of your Connext
+installation and the Connext architecture based on the default settings
+for your host platform. If you installed Connext in a custom location, you
+can use the `CONNEXTDDS_DIR` variable to indicate the path to your RTI Connext
+installation folder. For example:
+
+```sh
+cmake -DCONNEXTDDS_DIR=/home/rti/rti_connext_dds-x.y.z ..
+```
+
+Also, if you installed libraries for multiple target architectures on your system
+(i.e., you installed more than one target `.rtipkg` file), you can use the
+`CONNEXTDDS_ARCH` variable to indicate the architecture of the specific libraries
+you want to link against. For example:
+
+```sh
+cmake -DCONNEXTDDS_ARCH=x64Linux3gcc5.4.0 ..
+```
+
+### CMake Build Infrastructure
+
+This example does not require the usage of rtiddsgen. Therefore, the
+`CMakeLists.txt` script just creates the executable and link it with the Connext
+API.
+
+For a more comprehensive example on how to build an RTI Connext application
+using CMake, please refer to the
+[hello_world](../../../connext_dds/build_systems/cmake/) example, which includes
+a comprehensive `CMakeLists.txt` script with all the steps and instructions
+described in detail.
