I have a Contacts Editable Root Object that has a Property DisplayName that is Properties Suffix + First Name + Last Name.

DisplayName is saved to the database and shown on lists and is also used to validate uniqueness.

I was thinking of updating the field by overriding Save, but since I need the value set for validation that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

See if this helps.

public string DisplayName

{

get { return _displayName; }

protected set

{

_displayName = value;

PropertyHasChanged();

}

public string FirstName

{

get { return _firstName; }

set

{

if (value != _firstName)

{

_firstName = value;

PropertyHasChanged();

UpdateDisplayName();

}

private void UpdateDisplayName()

{

this.DisplayName = _prefix + _firstName + " " + _lastName;

}

Regards,

William

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.
