Object adding itself ...

Jammer 0

Hi All, I've created an object that inherits from a type in my datacontext which I am then trying to add using this method:

    /// /// Saves the new or updated catalog entry
    /// 
    public void SaveEntry()
    {
        if (\_isNewEntry)
        {
            \_context.ListOfSampleCatelogs.InsertOnSubmit(this);
            \_context.SubmitChanges();
            \_context.Dispose();
        }
        else
        {
            \_context.SubmitChanges();
            \_context.Dispose();
        }
    }

Is this pure insanity on my part or is this actually doable? I've spend most of the evening working on this and haven't made any progress or found anyone on the web doing something similar. I also check for an existing record as I either want to update an existing record or add this as a new one ... hmm ... Thanks in advance ...

I'll send you some code next week - we use a variation on this pattern.

I have emailed you. If you don't mind, please CC to me also. I am interested in the pattern which you said.

I didn't think it would be as interesting.:) Anyhoo - when your email address comes through, I'll add it to the list.

I've just sent it. What about writing about an article?

Tell you what - see what you think when you get the code, and then let me know if you think I should.

Waiting for the code then.

I suspect it's just several lines of code. Something like a snippet.

There are certainly several lines of code in it.;P No - it'll take me a little while to sanitize our company specific bits of code in it. It's a combination of custom DataContext and Business Object layer. It's going to take me a little while to change it over to run with a database like Northwind.
