Reading BO that is a property of a class

Ian Johnston — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:53:13 GMT

Is there a way to use a BO as a property on a class and read the data? I thought I saw a constuct like string pn = ((this.LightBOname)+".light_com_port");

where LightBOName is a property on the subclass of System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

pn is assigned the string "LightBO1.light_com_port" instead of Com9.

Had to declare it as

public BusinessObjects.Light_controlBO LightBOname

Worked great.

Thanks

You would just create a property that has the type of your BO.
[code]public LightBO LightBOname { get; set; }[/code]
They you have a strongly typed property that you can use like:
[code]string pn = this.LightBOname.light_com_port;[/code]

You'd have to do the fill of the BO at the right time of course, but when doing that you again just access the fill method directly:
[code]this.LightBOname.MyFillMethod();[/code]
