AddToManager(EntityManager) Method

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub AddToManager( _
   ByVal entityManager As EntityManager _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As EntityAspect
Dim entityManager As EntityManager
 
instance.AddToManager(entityManager)

public void AddToManager( 
   EntityManager entityManager
)

Parameters

entityManager

If the entity is associated with an EntityManager (i.e. the Entity Manager that was called to create this Entity (IdeaBlade.EntityModel.EntityManager.CreateEntity``1) or that was used to generate its ids ( EntityManager.GenerateId)), the EntityManager passed in the parameter must be the same. There is no difference between AddToManager and IdeaBlade.EntityModel.EntityManager.AddEntity(IdeaBlade.EntityModel.Entity). and you can use either method to add an entity to the EntityManager cache. After the add the entity's EntityState will be "Added".

C#

// Sample showing creation of a new entity via CreateEntity, and
 // adding to the EntityManager cache.

EntityManager mgr = new DomainModelEntityManager();

// Retrieve an order
OrderSummary order = mgr.ExecuteQuery<OrderSummary>(new EntityKey(typeof(OrderSummary), 1));
// Retrieve a product
Product product = mgr.ExecuteQuery<Product>(new EntityKey(typeof(Product), 1));

// Create an OrderDetail 
OrderDetail dtl = _em1.CreateEntity<OrderDetail>("Orders");
// assign key fields
dtl.OrderSummary = order;
dtl.Product = product;

// add the OrderDetail to the EntityManager cache
DebugFns.WriteLine("entity state before add = " + dtl.EntityState);
dtl.EntityAspect.AddToManager();
DebugFns.WriteLine("entity state after add = " + dtl.EntityState);
