Location Id Field Global Variable

Paul Chase — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 09:54:14 GMT

I'm stuck :)

I have a field that is in most tables that is a branch office Id.

I have a subclassed Bo that all my application bo's inherit from.

Rather that set this in every bo's default values I would like to this a bit smarter and have added 2 property's to the base bo.

PopulateOfficeid (Boolean)

OfficeIdField (string)

Now in the override for default values I need to be able to retrieve a value from somewhere to populate the id field. This is where I am stuck. The Office Id comes and office profile table that is loaded at application startup. Because the subclasses are in a separate project they know nothing about what is going on in the main application.

Hopefully I explained it well enough.

Any ideas you guys have would be great

Paul

Well, the easiest thing would be to have the business objects or methods that are needed in both places to reference a common assembly which houses the OfficeID method or BO. For example, you may want to create a Base Business Objects library which both assemblies reference.
