I'm trying to fix a bug in the CodeSmith templates and in research I came across this thread.
http://forums.lhotka.net/forums/p/6265/30565.aspx#30565
Basically it shows that the ERL should just call Child_Update().
I see in our generation template that we are doing that, but only if the list itself is a child object, otherwise the template generates this code:
for (int index = 0; index < DeletedList.Count; index++)
{
DeletedList[index] = DeletedList[index].Save();
}
DeletedList.Clear();
for (int index = 0; index < Items.Count; index++)
{
Items[index] = Items[index].Save();
}
Is there ever a case when this code would be valid or should the DataPortal_Update
for an ERL always just look like this:
//Configure myConnection
bool cancel = false;
OnUpdating(ref cancel);
if (cancel) return;
RaiseListChangedEvents = false;
Child_Update(myConnection);
RaiseListChangedEvents = true;
OnUpdated();Thanks for any input,Will
Unless you have some weird dependency issues with child objects, you should always just be able to call Child_Update to do the work. It just contains the code you listed at the top of your post after all :)
That is what I thought and what I was hoping. Nothing weird happening here, just addressing a bug in the templates and ot wanting to add a new one accidentally by removing potentially useful functionality.
Thanks,
Will
