DataPortal switch?

Proper solution would be a custom proxy / portal.  If you want a quick and dirty way, you can write to configuration managers settings as in:

 

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CslaDataPortalProxy"] = “Local” or

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CslaDataPortalProxy"] = " Csla.DataPortalClient.WcfProxy, Csla"

 

Make sure you will never save the settings though.  The code above will only write settings to memory for duration of current session/application.  You have to be aware that this code will not be thread safe, so if you have multi-threaded app, this will now work properly.  Also, at some point framework use to cache proxy type, but I am not sure when this behavior changed.  I know, it will work in 3.6 though.

Hi,

Does anyone know if would be possible to switch the DataPortal inside the application? What I mean is that I have an offline smart client that uses the local DataPortal to load the BOs from a local SQL Express DB. The data is downloaded from a remote server using Sync Framework. Unfortunately, I also have to do some updates on the remote server and I don???t want to put in the local app config a connectionstring to point to the remote SQL Server for the update. All I want is a magic ???switch??? to change the DataPortal from local to WCF for example to call my BO that will update the remote data store. Any ideas?

 

Kind regards,

George B
