Hi

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,
company,
contact,
acttype,
summary,
filename,

startdate,
starttime,
enddate,
endtime,

extra1,
extra2,

co_site,
cn_site,
att_site,
tmpl_site,

pathid,

actuser,

viewcode,
invoicenum,

CUSTOM_FIELD
}

Thanks for any help

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 ).

Thanks for the advice Ben, i will try that and let you know how i get on
