I have compiled all my customizations into a dll.

I have a situation where when the user deletes an Account, I need to check if the Account is a parent to other Accounts . If yes, then I should inform the user and stop the deletion.

I looked at Sage.SalesLogix.Entities.Account class and could not find any property or method that could give me this information.

Is there a way to find this information using the SLX API without having to access the db directly?

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks

The property you need to search for is ParentID.

The sql version of this could be:

select * from sysdba.account where parentId = {the deleted accountid}

if you get a result then you know the deleted is a parent.

I want to obtain the same information by using the SLX api without having to run sql. I was wondering if there is a way to do that.

There are  many ways to do it but you will need some basic education on nHibernate and SalesLogix and the answer will vary depppending on the version you have.

The version we currently have is Sales Logix 8.1

Hi Brian,

Could you please let me know if there is a way with Sales Logix version 8.1 to figure out if an Account is a parent to  other accounts via the API
