The PropertyInterceptorManager is the container managing property interceptor actions within DevForce. A developer accesses the PropertyInterceptorManager via its CurrentInstance property.
Dynamic property interception
The CurrentInstance holds all currently registered interceptor actions. You can query for existing actions, and add and remove property interceptor actions.
To directly add actions to the PropertyInterceptorManager, use the AddAction method. For example, this adds a "before set" auditing method to every entity property:
| C# | PropertyInterceptorManager.CurrentInstance.AddAction( new PropertyInterceptorAction<PropertyInterceptorArgs<Entity,Object>>( typeof(Entity), null, PropertyInterceptorMode.BeforeSet, (args) => Debug.WriteLine("Entity BeforeSet"), 0.0, "A") ); |
| VB | PropertyInterceptorManager.CurrentInstance.AddAction( _ New PropertyInterceptorAction(Of PropertyInterceptorArgs(Of Entity, Object)) _ (GetType(Entity), Nothing, PropertyInterceptorMode.BeforeSet, _ Function(args) Debug.WriteLine("Entity BeforeSet"), 0.0, "A")) |
Recursive interceptor actions
Recursion within a property interceptor can occur when the interceptor action invokes another property get or set which triggers execution of the same interceptor - this might occur, for example, when an interceptor action accesses the same property on a super- or sub-class. By default, recursive execution is disabled.
For use cases which require recursive execution of an interceptor, set the AllowRecursiveIntereceptors flag to true. For example:
| C# | PropertyInterceptorManager.CurrentInstance.AllowRecursiveInterceptors = true; |
