I've set some required fields on my BO. When I go to test it, I don't get any broken rule messages. It prompts me to save the bo. Here's what happens:



1. I click new

2. I click save (no data entered...should be some broken rules as many required fields aren't specified)

3. I get prompted to Save changes, no broken rules



In the BO, all I've done is setup my required fields. Is there something else I need to do to get these fields validated (or could I have turned something off)?

Did the required fields get serialized (saved) to the source file?  There is really not much here.  If the RequiredFields collection has anything in it, they are checked within the BO when the save occurs.  If you put a debug in the CheckRulesOnCurrentRow does the RequiredFields collection have a count of zero?

yes.





Yes. There are three required fields in that collection.



The save is getting called by directly calling the Save method on the BO. I tried calling the CheckRulesOnRow() method, but same behavior (just checked the rules twice). Are the required fields checked before or after the CheckRulesOnRow event is raised? Anything I might be doing wrong?

Correction...



No. There are three required fields in that collection (the same number I checked as being required)

What is the return value of the Save() method when you call it on the BO?  Is it AbortedWithBrokenRules?

Actually, what happens is that I get prompted to save changes. If I say yes, then I again get prompted to save changes. This goes on until I select no (don't save changes). The return is then Success {0}.



So, I'm probably not doing this correctly. What else do I need to do when manually calling Save() on a BO?

So, when you call Save() on the BO, you get the message asking you if you want to save changes?  That's odd... that message should only be showing when you try to close the form.  If you put a handler on the BO's AfterSave event, is it ever reached?  And there's also a BusinessRulesChecked event on the BO that will be raised after the business rules have completed checking.  You can check the count of the BrokenRules collection within that event to see if it added any broken rules from the required fields.

Yes.











Yes. After I click no to saving the changes.





No broken rules. I also only get to this event after clicking on No to not save changes.

When you put a break point in the BusinessRules checked, can you copy the stack trace and post it here.  You can post the whole thing by either copying the value of System.Environment.StackTrace or opening the Stack Trace debugging window and right-clicking it to Select All and then right-clicking it to Copy.

Here is the stack trace:
