accessing properties in code behind using the CslaDataProvider

germie posted on Wednesday, October 28, 2009

i am using the CslaDataProvider within xaml. i have set up the event handler
DataChanged="CslaDataProvider_DataChanged"
now within the event handler in the code behind i would like to access a property in the object. how do i do this?

i found the answer to my own question.

Dim dp As Csla.Silverlight.CslaDataProvider = Resources("data")
Dim obj As New testObject
obj = dp.Data

You could just case sender as CslaDataProvider, especially in case you have multiple providers that all use the same event handler in code behind.

thanx for your responce serg. im not sure by what you mean when you say "case sender as cslaDataProvider." i tried looking it up in my expert buisiness objects book and cant figure it out. can you explain, or give an example?

Something like this I think he means.

Dim obj As Suite = TryCast(dp.Data, Suite)

or

Dim obj As Suite = TryCast(sender, Suite)
