Overide enum for BO

Shivji Patel — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 03:15:47 GMT

I have any old Database that has used current reserved codes ie 'private' and 'ref' in c csharp.

Is there any way to overide the enum generated for the fields in the BO

eg see items in red, i can use the custom code to overide the field and replaced private with privatex and ref with refx

and that works fine but can not find a way to overide the enum for the fieldnames.

/// <summary>
/// Contains all of the field names that belong to the business object.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks></remarks>
public enum actionsBOFieldNames
{
code,
creaop,
creadate,
creatime,
modiop,
modidate,
moditime,
delop,
deldate,
deltime,
deleted,

It wouldn't do it properly without a change to the BOMapper. But, what you could do is change your custom code so that the name of the properties are @private and @ref rather than privatex and refx... that will allow you to keep the explicit names. The @ in C# tells the compiler to keep that name no matter what. After that, you won't have to worry about using the @ again... because you can type "this.private" or "bo.private" If you ever have to reference the field without a reference qualifier, then you'll just use the @ again.

So, you can do the same within the enum... just add a @ in front of the two values that are causing problems; however, since there is no custom code for the enum, you'll have to remember to re-add the @ each time you re-generate that partial class (which would be hard to forget since it won't compile ;)).
