IsDirty = true, IsValid = true but IsSavable = false

Dane posted on Sunday, December 18, 2011

I feel like I'm missing something in the initialization of the object in its DataPortal_Fetch but I'm not sure what.  The object in question inherits from BusinessBase.  I'm fetching an object in a console app and then editing one property.  After the edit IsDirty = true, IsValid = true but the object is not savable.  What am I missing?

Thanks for any input you might have,

Hi,

1. Does your object have async rules (still running or do not call context.Complete, ie: object is still IsBusy)

2. Does your object have any authorization rules?

Check if your object has IsBusy = true or authz rules.

This is the actual code in BusinessBase:

    public virtual bool IsSavable
    {
      get 
      {
        bool auth;
        if (IsDeleted)
          auth = Csla.Rules.BusinessRules.HasPermission(Rules.AuthorizationActions.DeleteObject, this);
        else if (IsNew)
          auth = Csla.Rules.BusinessRules.HasPermission(Rules.AuthorizationActions.CreateObject, this);
        else
          auth = Csla.Rules.BusinessRules.HasPermission(Rules.AuthorizationActions.EditObject, this);
        return (auth && IsDirty && IsValid && !IsBusy); 
      }
    }

Thanks again Jonny.  It was an authorization rule.
