First of all I'd like to say that this is most likely a problem with the way the page is contructed by me. I know that because I created a small test web app that does show what I'm about to explain.



I coded this page doing testing here and there. One day I was on a record that was saved before I had set the require fields validation on the BO. I saved the record, saw the validation error message for one of the required fields being blank, and for some reason I just hit Save again. To my surprise, the form saved successfully. Or rather, the BO.Save() method return "Success". After some digging I found that the BO was losing track of the fact that the record was dirty. It was registering as dirty for the first save (IsDirty == true) but on the second save, IsDirty was false. So I think what's happening is that Strataframe isn't attempting to check rules or save. And I don't do any reloading of the record in between. The BO is part of the BasePage so it's getting stored in the Session.



I tried manually setting the record to dirty with BO.CurrentRow.SetModified() but I get an error saying that the row state has to be Unchanged in order to use SetModified or SetAdded. I tried updating a timestamp field on the BO (ex. Customer.Created = DateTime.Now) and the record was still not registering as dirty.



I'm just going to validate the required fields manually and move on, I've spent too much time on this already.



So I know there's something I'm doing wrong because it works in a simple implementation. But I wanted to get it out there and see if anyone else has had a similar experience and if they found a reason and a solution.



Thanks
