Thread: Address Control

Address Control Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 22 May 08 3:21 PM

I'm trying to use the Address Control. It seems to work for records that were already created, but doesn't work when inserting a new record. For example, I have a field addressId in the main record. I enter a new record and fill out the address, but that field never gets the Id of the associated Address record.

Is there a way to get the address control to automatically save the proper Id, or do I need to write code to save the address properly?

It appears that the Address Control does not have any bindings for the Address property of the target entity or a binding for the EntityId of the Address entity. So you can't create the foreign key relationships by default. (Pretty big oversight, imo. These bindings would make the Address Control so much more useful.)

I think I can create the Address instance manually in the OnCreate event for the target entity. However, I'm having trouble setting the EntityId property of the Address.

When is the primary key for a new record generated in the new system? I need to set the EntityId after the primary key is generated, but before the entity record is written to the database. Is there a point or method where I can generate the primary key manually?

Got this to work finally. Just noting the steps in case anyone else needs to use the Address Control.

In the OnCreate event for entity, you need to add a code snippet:

Quote:

using Sage.Platform;

entity.Address = EntityFactory.Create<IAddress>();

Then in the OnBeforeInsert event, you have a code snippet:

Quote:

entity.Address.EntityId = entity.Id.ToString();
