Hi guys, I try to make a generic ABM, on it I dropped a "copy" button and it must copy the current record of the primary business object on a private business object



example: I'm retrieving on the ABM a product's table, my currentrowindex is 23 and I like to copy this on a temporary business object with only this record, I not sure how to declare the private variable



private _boCopy as XXXXXX



XXXXX mean that I known what is the primary object (the form property say it) but I don't known how to say something like

dim _boCopy as (the type of Myform.PrimaryBusinessObject)



Thanks and sorry for me newbie questions

Solution to this topic (I think :crazy







I found the solution I have to take some class on .net



My "full" working code:

--------------

Private _CopyBO As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessLayer

Dim sOldFilter As String = Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.Filter

Dim _CurrentRowIndex As Integer = Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.CurrentRowIndex



Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.Filter = Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.PrimaryKeyField & " = " & Me.PrimaryBusinessObject(Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.PrimaryKeyField)



'Instantiate a object from the same type as the primaryBusinessObject

_CopyBO = Activator.CreateInstance(Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.GetType)



_CopyBO.CopyDataFrom(Me.PrimaryBusinessObject, MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessCloneDataType.ClearAndFillFromCompleteTable)



Me.PrimaryBusinessObject.Filter = sOldFilter



'Me.NavigateToPrimaryKey(_RegistroEnMemoriaBO(_RegistroEnMemoriaBO.PrimaryKeyField))[/quote]



Now I have a _CopyBO with 1-row copy of my actual PrimaryBusinessObject



Thanks and sorry for all the posts that I write for a simple topic (because my dificulties to write more understand posts)

Fabian,



I think that the code posted won't have just one record (unless the primary BO only has one record). When you do the CopyDataFrom, you need to supply the ClearAndFillFromDefaultView option to get just the filtered records.



Of course, if what you do have works, I'm not understanding what's happening

Yep, Greg is correct... if you filter out all but 1 row, and you want to copy just that one row, then you will need to use the ClearAndFillFromDefaultView.  The other option (ClearAndFillFromCompleteTable) will ignore the filter you set on the business object.

Hello guys, that's right, some cut & paste to show the example and I make another mistake I learn the clearandfillfrom... stuff thanks for all the help and support
