2.1.4 question

DanEssin posted on Sunday, February 18, 2007

CODE:
   public class CslaDataSourceView : DataSourceView
{

    private CslaDataSource _owner;
    private string _typeName;
    private string _typeAssemblyName;

Compiler Warning:
Warning    1    Field 'Csla.Web.CslaDataSourceView._typeAssemblyName' is never assigned to, and will always have its default value null    J:\csla20cs\csla20cs\Csla\Web\CslaDataSourceView.cs    17    20    Csla

There are several references in the code to typeAssemblyName and if it is never assigned a value that might be a problem?

Thanks,
Dan

The value is not used anymore. It's just kept there for backwards compatibility purposes only. It could be marked "Deprecated" though.

I'm updating the code to make for a smoother transition from 2.1.3- to 2.1.4+ in this regard. The assembly name is actually needed at runtime (though not design time), and so I've reinstated the TypeAssemblyName property.

However, it is optional, because you can also specify the type,assembly completely on the TypeName property, and that's what the config dialog now does.

Well in that case, the version that I downloaded declared and referenced
it several times but never set it to anything.

I wrote somewhat of a fix, which neither require TypeAssmblyName or the "type, assembly" syntax in this thread:

it's up to Rocky to decide wether csla goes with this (or similar) fix or sticks with specifying the assembly name (trough TypeAssemblyName or TypeName)

There's a new version of 2.1.4 available for download (070220), so if you could try that one and see if it works for you I would appreciate it.
