How do I set up the Strataframe Source Code so that I can step through it?

Marcia G Akins — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:55:33 GMT

I am trying desparately to debug a problem and I need to be able to step though the code in the framework to see what it is doing.

How do I set this up so that I can actually do this?

TIA

Marcia

Hi Ivan.

I appreciated the links.

Since you are an advanced user and I am a newbie to Strataframe, would you mind looking at my posts about my problems with my parent-child relationship. This one smells like the same sort of nuance as the SET NOCOUNT ON issue, but I have no idea what it could be. Apparently, Strataframe thinks that the field luphdr_fk is not defined in the child business object, but I swear to god, it really is. :crying:

Hi Marcia.

Yeah, I got your point. And I agree with you. I just got curious myself about the topic and shared some thoughts about it. :cool:

I realize that these sorts of issues can become religious issues and, not being a SQL Server DBA, I am not qualified to comment. My only point was that this should be clearly documented in the Strataframe documentation. I found it quite by accident.

Hi there.

Just some thoughts that I found about SET NOCOUNT ON.

Hi Charles.

Memorial Day??? Wishful thinking - the summer is ending, not beginning :(

My only real complaint about the framework is the poor documentation. Andy has been working as a SQL Server DBA for the last few years, so he writes all my SPs. Best practices dictate setting NOCOUNT ON at the beginning for performance reasons. Well, it is not documented anywhere that the framework requires that NOCOUNT be set OFF in order to handle saving data. Mentioning this little nuance in the topic on Table CRUD Stored Procedures might be a good idea, don't you think?

We also noticed that framework calls SP_ExecuteSQL directly - this is a real no no from a security standpoint. I wonder if the framework breaks if the DBA denies access permissions to system stored procedures and tables.

Hi Marcia -

You've already answered more questions here than most people and you just got here. OK, so the questions were yours, but still ...:P

Good to see you here. Be brave. You're gonna love this, I promise. I'm just a newbie at this and still have lots of questions of my own, but I did the training in Texas in July and was pretty blown away by what is here. I'm on my first .NET project as well and I have to say the framework is making it a whole lot less scarey.

And have faith the turn around time on forum response is generally very very fast - I think everybody took the Memorial Day weekend off.

Hi to Andy too
