MapperEditList Methods

Adds a field to the Fields collection

Used by mapper itself to add mapper commands so that we can tell if a newly added command was added by the mapper or externally.

Called when the MapperExecCmd.ApplyViewState command is invoked.

Bind the mapper's fields to the controls in the specified control collection. Controls are bound by IField.ControlName which by default is the same as IField.Key.

Binds the mapper to the current .Net Page.

Binds the mapper to the current .Net Page.

Binds the mapper to the current .Net Page.

Build a javasript expression for the row calculation for the specified field.

Build the filter for the operational data query.

Build the FROM clause for the operational data query.

Builds a representation of the physical table(s) underlying a mapper including the SQL for each table required to execute the specified operation.

Initiate a bulk delete using the mapper and fire its corresponding extension event. The object controlling the bulk operation typically makes this call before performing the delete operations in a loop using the same mapper instance. The bulkContext will be provided in the BulkContext parameter for all mapper events performed during the bulk operation. If a null bulkContext object is provided, the method will instantiate one for you. If you want a custom bulkContext, you should derive from the base EventBulkContext object and provide an instance of your derived class. If BulkDeleteBegin is called, you should call BulkDeleteEnd when the operation completes. Note that the MapperBulkBeforeDelete event is fired from within this method.

Complete a bulk delete operation that was initiated with a call to BulkDeleteBegin(EventBulkContext). This method will delete the mapper's internal bulk context object set by that call. This method should be called if, and only if, BulkDeleteBegin was called. Note that the MapperBulkAfterDelete event is fired from within this method.

Initiate a bulk insert using the mapper and fire its corresponding extension event. The object controlling the bulk operation typically makes this call before performing the insert operations in a loop using the same mapper instance. The bulkContext will be provided in the BulkContext parameter for all mapper events performed during the bulk operation. If a null bulkContext object is provided, the method will instantiate one for you. If you want a custom bulkContext, you should derive from the base EventBulkContext object and provide an instance of your derived class. If BulkInsertBegin is called, you should call BulkInsertEnd when the operation completes.

Complete a bulk insert operation that was initiated with a call to BulkInsertBegin(EventBulkContext). This method will delete the mapper's internal bulk context object set by that call. This method should be called if, and only if, BulkInsertBegin was called.

Initiate a bulk update using the mapper and fire its corresponding extension event. The object controlling the bulk operation typically makes this call before performing the update operations in a loop using the same mapper instance. The bulkContext will be provided in the BulkContext parameter for all mapper events performed during the bulk operation. If a null bulkContext object is provided, the method will instantiate one for you. If you want a custom bulkContext, you should derive from the base EventBulkContext object and provide an instance of your derived class. If BulkUpdateBegin is called, you should call BulkUpdateEnd when the operation completes.

Complete a bulk update operation that was initiated with a call to BulkUpdateBegin(EventBulkContext). This method will delete the mapper's internal bulk context object set by that call. This method should be called if, and only if, BulkUpdateBegin was called.

A base class method to clear all user filters on a mapper (typically going to be some kind of datsaheet)

Create a clone of the mapper. Unless otherwise specified by modifier flags, the clone will be requeried using the same filters and sort as the original mapper.

Create a clone of the mapper. Unless otherwise specified by modifier flags, the clone will be requeried using the same filters and sort as the original mapper.

Closes all internal resources

Creates a new control implementing the IBndLkup interface. Currently the determination of which control to use is based on whether or not the application is Bootstrap based.

Creates a new field object.

Gets the current grouping sort clause. Typically this is a field key name optionally followed by " DESC" when descending sort is in use.

A change to the underlying data has occurred and the mapper should requery accordingly. Currently this provides a mechanism to tell the datasheet not to use its posted-back operational data and to requery instead. Note that MapperAfterLayout is the earliest event for which this has effect in the current datasheet life-cycle.

Gets the default grouping.

Get any DefaultSort and preprocess appropriately (e.g. apply picklists).

Delete the current record. Note that, following the delete and all associated mapper events, the mapper will perform a MoveNext to position to the next record in the filter. Because of this, when deleting multiple records you should not perform a MoveNext except on those rows you do not intend to delete. See also DeleteAll to delete all records in the filter.

Delete all records in the current filter. DeleteAll is a bulk operation and as such will fire the MapperBulkBeforeDelete and MapperBulkAfterDelete events. Typically at the start of DeleteAll processing an EventBulkContext is established, however, you may establish a custom bulk context by calling BulkDeleteBegin(EventBulkContext) immediately prior to calling DeleteAll.

Delete the file, if any, associated with each field in this row in the mapper where the field so indicates.

Generate a list of dependency-ordered fields. The dependencies are based on property references to other fields.

Determine the grouping group and group caption for this item.

Close the database connection(s)

Execute the specified command. Typically commandName is the ID of one of the MapperCommand items added to the mapper's Commands collection. To invoke a command by its Command, pass a 1 in the flags parameter.

Throws an error if saving this record would create a duplicate record as defined by those fields marked with the DupeCheck attribute.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Excape expressions to prevent possible field reference evaluation. Currently the only escaping performed is to replace all square brackets ("[") with double square brackets. Resolving an escaped expression will yield the original expression.

The Exec method provide extended functionality for mappers. See MapperExecCmds for the enumerated list of commands.

Extracts the data types from the query and set on the fields.

Get the behaviour options for the specified field.

Fire a mapper extension event with the specified event arguments.

See IMapper.FireEvent.

Fire a field extension event for the specified field.

Fire a field extension event for the specified field.

Fire the ExtensionEvents.RowCurrent event. Immediately prior to the event being fired the mapper's DeleteLocked property is cleared and RowLocked property is cleared as are those of all the mapper's fields.

Generate javascript for DataRow object used to access mapper values, by field key, on the client.

Gets the mapper's "caption" property per flags. The result is exposed via IMapper.Exec(MapperExecCmds.Caption). Note that GetCaption() is normally overridden by derived classes to render a caption appropriate for the type of mapper.

Get the specified localized text for this page. Obtaining the text is a cascading process from most specific to least specific always using the IDS as the id: 1) Look for the text item in the PageInfo's TextItems collection, 2) If not found, look for the text item in the mapper's TextItems collection, 3) If not found, look for the item in the locale resource file, 4) If not found, use the provided defaultText. Note that the text is resolved for field expressions. To avoid this or for additional options, use, GetCascadedText(String, String, CascadedTextOptions).

Get the specified localized text for this page. Obtaining the text is a cascading process from most specific to least specific always using the IDS as the id: 1) Look for the text item in the PageInfo's TextItems collection, 2) If not found, look for the text item in the mapper's TextItems collection, 3) If not found, look for the item in the locale resource file, 4) If not found, use the provided defaultText.

Get the specified localized text for this page. Obtaining the text is a cascading process from most specific to least specific always using the IDS as the id: 1) Look for the text item in the field's TextItems collection (if provided), 2) If not found, look for the text item in the PageInfo's TextItems collection, 3) If not found, look for the text item in the mapper's TextItems collection, 4) If not found, look for the item in the application's TextItems collection, 5) If not found, look for the item in the locale resource file, 6) If not found, use the provided defaultText.

Gets the mapper's "description" property and resolves it for field expressions. The result is exposed via IMapper.Exec(MapperExecCmds.Description).

Gets a semi-colon separated list of fields to render for this mapper based on various PageElementInfo properties including FieldList, FieldListMobile, and GroupList, or on a value set programmatically via SetFieldList(String, SetFieldListOpts). Also handles the HiddenFields property when HiddenFields is specified. Note that the possibililty of HiddenFields complicates construction of a field list and typically requires calling this method first to get a possible list of explicitly shown fields (where no such list means to show all fields normally visible in the mapper) then calling the method again to get a possible list of explicitly hidden fields and combining the results (including handling the case where fields are explicitly hidden, but not explicitly shown).

Get the specified localized text for the specified field. Obtaining the text is a three step process: 1) Look for the text item specified by name in the field's TextItems collection, 2) if not found, look for the item specified by ids in the locale resource file, 3) if not found, use the provided defaultText.

Returns the complete filter.

Returns the FireAndForgetCountHelper object for a given fire and forget sql request

Get the mapper's FROM clause (without the word FROM).

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Get an array of keys using the current filter.

Build a URL to the current mapper per the specified flags.

Get the specified localized text for this mapper. Obtaining the text is a three step process: 1) Look for the text item specified by name in the mapper's TextItems collection, 2) if not found, look for the item specified by ids in the locale resource file, 3) if not found, use the provided defaultText.

Get a list of the required fields whose values are null or blank.

Determine the number of data records with the current filter and without any TopN qualifier.

Returns the RecordCount (an int) for the mapper, but catches any error that is thrown. Use this exec command instead of RecordCount if you want to guarantee that no error is thrown.

Get the collection of fields in the mapper that comprise the row keys.

Gets an ArrayList of the currently selected keys. The base implementation is appropriate for detail use where there is just a single current row. For other uses this method should be overridden.

Returns the Mappers sort. If there is no sort specified, a sort expression based on the primary key is returned to ensure a reliable row order.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Get the grouper field associated with the specified field. Note that this is overridden in MapperDatasheet because grouping there is more limited.

Determines if the mapper has the specified ObjectPermissions for the current user. If the object has no assigned permisions, the return value is true.

This method initializes the mapper.

This method initializes the mapper.

This method initializes the mapper.

Insert a new record. Called by IMapper.Save when mapper is positioned on a new row.

The internal _recordCount property should always be set using this method to ensure that associated information, specifically _recordCountError, is also set properly.

Determines if a particular attribute (or any of a set of attributes) is set. Note that this is a shorthand for the expression (0 != (mapper.Attributes & attributes)) (C#) or (0 <> (mapper.Attributes Or attributes)) (VB).

Determines if the specified CellTypeAttribute is set. Since a CellTypeAttribute is valid only for a particular CellType (since the bits are reused for other CellTypes), we must check both the CellType and CellTypeAttributes.

Determines if the mapper is currently configured for the specified MapperCapabilities.

Determines whether or not the specified field is grouped inside another field when presented in a datasheet.

Determine if column grouping is specified for this list. Note that even if grouping is specified, it is possible that we will end up NOT adding a grouper header due to various factors (e.g. user having hidden all grouped cells).

Determines whether or not the mapper is currently performing the specified HttpRequest action, else false. This is generally based on the event target (__EVENTTARGET) from the request. Note that most of these actions really apply only to the MapperDatasheet.

Determine if the specified field that should be hidden due to user preferences.

Lay out the mapper controls on the page.

Determines whether or not a layout is required on a post-back.

Loads the mapper's meta-data from the RepositoryIDatabase. Use Load(MapperLoadFlags) to load the mapper with specific load options.

Loads the mapper's meta-data from the RepositoryIDatabase.

Sets up the mapper's meta-data per the table's schema. If so specified the mapper will use the table's data.

Register debug info about field counts including total, omitted, hidden.

Devlog an exception using caller as source with mapper identified.

Devlog an entry using caller as source with mapper identified.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Merge two sort clauses. SQL-Server will error if the same column is used more than once in an ORDER BY clause. If that happens on a saved sort there's no way to recover without clearing user preferences. This method will throw out any repeated columns.

Move to the Beginning Of File (BOF). That is, position the cursor just prior to the first record in the mapper. Note that this will throw an InvalidMapperMovement error if the mapper is positioned on or beyond the first record and is not BiDirectional. Use MoveFirst to position directly to the first data row.

Move to the first record in the mapper. Note that this will throw an InvalidMapperMovement error if the mapper is positioned beyond the first record and is not BiDirectional. Use MoveBOF to position just prior to the first data row.

You should not call MoveFirst prior to calling MoveNext to loop through records in a mapper as this will result in the first record being skipped (unless of course you want to skip the first record). Immediately following a Requery(RequeryHints) the mapper will already be positioned BOF and you can simply loop by calling MoveNext. If you are using a BiDirectional mapper and need to perform subsequent MoveNext loops, call MoveBOF to position just prior to the first data row before starting each subsequent MoveNext.

Move to the last record in the mapper.

Move to a new record.

Move to a new record.

Move to the next record in the mapper.

You should not call MoveFirst prior to calling MoveNext to loop through records in a mapper as this will result in the first record being skipped (unless of course you want to skip the first record). Immediately following a Requery(RequeryHints) the mapper will already be positioned BOF and you can simply loop by calling MoveNext. If you are using a BiDirectional mapper and need to perform subsequent MoveNext loops, call MoveBOF to position just prior to the first data row before starting each subsequent MoveNext.

Move to the previous record in the mapper. Note that this will throw an InvalidMapperMovement error if the mapper is not BiDirectional.

Move to a record relative to the current record. Note that this will throw an InvalidMapperMovement error if movement is negative and the mapper is not BiDirectional.

Move to a record relative to the current record. Note that this will throw an InvalidMapperMovement error if movement is negative and the mapper is not BiDirectional.

Move to the row corresponding to the specified RowKey.

Move to the specified row number (1-based). Note that RowCurrent events are NOT fired and data is NOT moved through the mapper's Fields during the move. In general you should use this method to position the mapper to the record immeditately PRIOR to the first record of interest and then use MoveNext to iterate through one or more records of interest.

Open's the operational data by executing the SELECT statment against the underlying data source.

Modify a resolved expression per the specified expression attributes.

Gets the ObjectPermissions for the mapper.

Refresh appropriate picklists used by fields in this mapper. Currently that means picklists marked "volatile". And, for each picklist flushed, remove it from session cache (if cached) and have CloneParent flush as well.

Populate the fields for all rows in the list.

Populate the mapper's fields' default values with values from a parent mapper, if any.

Populate the fields from the values in their bound controls on the web page.

Populate the mapper's field values from the mapper's data source.

Called immediately following OpenOperationalData() to allow a derived type to perform post-requery handling. The MapperKernel::PostRequery() has an empty implementation. Note that if PreRequery() is called, PostRequery() is called even if PreRequery() returns false such that OpenOperationalData() was not called.

Called immediately before OpenOperationalData() to allow a derived type to perform pre-requery handling. The MapperKernel::PreRequery() has an empty implementation.

Query the operational data for the mapper.

Register DevLog information for logging if and only if the mapper's operational query fails.

Opens the operational data reader, or fills the internal DataTable, for the mapper.

Resolve an expression containing field references.

Resolve a !Sort() expression into its constituent parts.

This implementation of the method should never be called. The virtual method is provided here for implementation in MapperDatasheet.

Generate a digest of the field values in the mapper for the current row.

RowKeyFilter is used to build a filter unique for a RowKey obtained from the RowKey property.

Requeries the current row following a save in order to pick up any trigger or calculated column changes.

Save the current changes. If no fields are Dirty, no save is performed. You can use the Save(MapperSaveOptions) to override certain standard Save behaviour, the standard behaviour is typically recommended. See Save(MapperSaveOptions) for some additional information about mapper saves.

Save the current changes allowing for specific MapperSaveOptions options. If no fields are Dirty, no save is performed. Saves are typically performed using the Save method with default mapper Save behaviour.

Apply the specified SavedFilter to the mapper including any full-text search value.

SelectedKeys is used to obtain a list of the RowKeys for the rows currently selected in the mapper. In a detail this is the current row. In a datasheet this is the set of selected rows.

SelectedKeys is used to obtain a list of the RowKeys for the rows currently selected in the mapper. In a detail this is the current row. In a datasheet this is the set of selected rows. If an EAPEventArgs object is provided from a particular mapper event that can specify one or more RowKeys, e.g. EAPCommandEventArgs.RowKey and one or more RowKeys are specified in that object, then the RowKey(s) from the event will be returned.

Simple way to send a message using this mapper and a template. The mapper sets up the message, the relationships, and creates the template data appropriate from the current row before sending.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Try to get one or more RowKeys specifically identified in mapper event args.

Update the current record. Called by IMapper.Save when mapper is positioned on an existing row.

Determine whether or not this mapper supports user filtering. Currently the only support for this is the Filter-by-Form (FBF) on the datasheet.

Retrieves the list of mapper field keys in the order they should be presented to the user in a datasheet taking any user-customized column order into account. Unless a explicit ColOrder property is specified on the mapper, first are fields marked with FreezeColumn the are fields explicitly ordered by the user and then all other fields. Note that field visibility is NOT taken into account and, in fact, the list may include keys for which no field is defined. The list is guaranteed to not include duplicates.

Determines if the object value is equal to another object. If the two objects are null, then this returns true. There is special handling for guid comparisons (since a guid could be a string formatted in up to 3 different ways). If the special guid handling is not performed, then the object.Equals method is used.
