Hi All,

If I call MarkOld(blbObj) in my ObjectFactory Update which has just saved the contents of a BusinessListBase do I need call MarkOld(foreach_content_bb) or will MarkOld scan the object graph and do it for me. From what I have seen I need to manually cascade the MarkOld(..)

Csla 3.6.1

TIA
Kevin

You have to manually cascade things like MarkOld(), MarkNew(), etc.

Thanks

I also have to manually clear DeletedList, is this correct?

Yes – you must manually do everything.

In 3.6.2 there are more methods on the ObjectFactory base class, and so it should be possible to load/save all object stereotypes now.

Cheers Rocky.

When you're new to this you don't appreciate what "everything" is until you get to it!

It is definitely a choice.

The DataPortal_XYZ approach is more automated and so is simpler.

The ObjectFactory approach is more flexible, but isn’t quite as simple, and requires that you understand more about the object lifecycle.
