There are a number of acceptable signatures for methods marked with this attribute. In general, you can accept (or accept and return) an object of the expected property type, or accept one of the many derivations of PropertyInterceptorArgs. See the examples provided with the constructors for more information. If a signature is invalid, you will receive a PropertyInterceptorException when DevForce either builds or tries to execute the method, depending on when the error is detected.
public partial class Customer { // Sample signatures for a BeforeGet method for any Customer property // (invoked for both simple and navigation properties). // Additional signatures are possible. // Signature 1 - accept a property value and return a property value. // The input value may be null if no prior BeforeGet interceptors // have returned a value. // Any value returned is passed to next interceptor. [BeforeGet] public object BeforeGetAnyCustomerProperty1(object value) { Console.WriteLine("Getting a customer property 1"); return value; } // Signature 2 - accept a property value, but no return value. [BeforeGet] public void BeforeGetAnyCustomerProperty2(object value) { Console.WriteLine("Getting a customer property 2"); } // Signature 3 - accept base IPropertyInterceptorArgs. // Allows you to cancel further actions and modify the Value. // No property information available. [BeforeGet] public void BeforeGetAnyCustomerProperty3(IPropertyInterceptorArgs args) { Console.WriteLine("Getting a customer property 3"); } // Signature 4 - accept EntityProperty interceptor arguments. // The arguments passed allow you to determine the property retrieved // and to cancel the get if necessary. The args.Value may be null // if no prior BeforeGet interceptor has set the value. args.Value // can also be set before returning. [BeforeGet] public void BeforeGetAnyCustomerProperty4(IEntityPropertyGetInterceptorArgs args) { Console.WriteLine("Getting customer property " + args.EntityProperty.Name); } // Signature 5 - accept strongly-typed IPropertyInterceptorArgs. // Same features as IPropertyInterceptorArgs but Instance is now strongly-typed. [BeforeGet] public void BeforeGetAnyCustomerProperty5(IPropertyInterceptorArgs<Customer, object> args) { Customer c = args.Instance; Console.WriteLine("Getting customer property 5"); } }
