Hi Im using Variants for the first time in DW 8. can anyone advise the best way to do this using the DW API's available methods:

Parameters:
VariantOptionId = "VO1"
LanguageId = "LANG1"
ProductName = "AProductName"

VariantGroup selectedVariantGroup = VariantGroup.GetGroupByOptionId(VariantOptionId );

List<Product> products = Product.GetProductsByVariantGroup(selectedVariantGroup).Where(n => n.LanguageID == LanguageId && n.Name == ProductName).ToList();

products = products.? now filter the product list for products with the variant option = VariantOptionId

Alternatively:

ProductCollection productsByNameAndLanguage = Product.GetProductsByNameAndLanguage(ProductName, LanguageId);

Product masterProduct = productsByNameAndLanguage.Select(n => n).Where(m => m.IsVariantMaster).FirstOrDefault();

ProductCollection ProductsAndVariantsByProduct = Product.GetProductsAndVariantsByProduct(masterProduct);

now filter the product list for products with the variant option = VariantOptionId ??

    foreach (var p in ProductsAndVariantsByProduct.Where(n=>!n.IsVariantMaster))
        {
               VariantCombinationCollection productCombinations = p.VariantCombinations;
               foreach(var comb in productCombinations)
               {
                    comb.VariantOptions is always null ??

                }                   
         }

Looking at values passed from the api it seems each product has all the Variants from the system, and not related to the conserned product

any help appreciated.
