Code checking for local dataportal vs. remote dataportal

xxxJasonxxx posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008

What is the smartest way for my object/app to determine if it is currently running using a local dataportal or a remote dataportal?

I know I could find out by checking the config file, but I was wondering if CSLA has a shortcut property somewhere specifically for this purpose.

We want different code to run depending on whether it is local dataportal or remote dataportal (really the issue is whether or not the serialization is going to happen - my understanding is that in local the serialization does not happen).

Here is a method I have that does it:

 

public static void NotAllowedOnClient()

{

if (ApplicationContext.DataPortalProxy != "Local" &&

ApplicationContext.ExecutionLocation == ApplicationContext.ExecutionLocations.Client)

{

throw new NotSupportedException("Illegal client method call with remote server portal in use");

}

}

(Off topic: Does any one know how to cut/paste code here so it looks nice?)
