Trouble Adding AccountID to Record in database Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have project going where I want to track the movement of an Asset from one Account to Another.

I created a 1 to M off of the now Main view Entity called Assets

At the top I have two fields, one to look-up the new Account, and the other to allow the user to select a reason for the move. There is also a button that starts the following C# Snippet.

if (curntAccount.LookupResultValue != string.Empty)
{
Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccountProduct asset = this.BindingSource.Current as Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccountProduct;
Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAuditTrail audit = Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.Create<Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAuditTrail>();

string newAccount = curntAccount.LookupResultValue.ToString();

audit.PreviousAccountID = asset.AccountId.ToString();
audit.CurrentAccountID= curntAccount.LookupResultValue.ToString();
audit.ReasonMoved = reason.PickListValue;
audit.Save();

asset.AccountId = Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById((string)newAccount);

Sage.Platform.WebPortal.Services.IPanelRefreshService refresher = PageWorkItem.Services.Get<Sage.Platform.WebPortal.Services.IPanelRefreshService>();
if (refresher != null)
{
asset.Save();
refresher.RefreshAll();
}
}
else
{
this.DialogService.ShowMessage("You must select the Account you wish to move the Asset to prior to selecting the move button.");
}

When I build, deploy, and navigate to my Asset Entity I receive the following error:

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFX_751_Power2Asset_WebOnly\SLXClient\SmartParts\AccountProduct\AssetAuditList.ascx(156): error CS0411: The type arguments for method 'Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById(object)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.

Line 156 is this:

asset.AccountId = Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById((string)newAccount);

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance - Geo

Hey George,

The problem, as indicated, is with this line:

asset.AccountId = Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById((string)newAccount);

You are not telling it which type of entity you are getting by ID. Change the line to this:

asset.AccountId = Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById<Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccount>(newAccount);
