IDataStore.GetChild(string name) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Provides a reference to the DataWindowChild, which you can use to manipulate that DataStore.

Namespace: DWNet.Data

Assembly: DWNet.Data.dll

Syntax

  public IDataStore GetChild(string name);

Parameters

name System.String

A string which is the name of the column containing the DataWindowChild.

Returns

DWNet.Data.IDataStore

The reference to the DataWindowChild.

Remarks

A DataWindowChild object is a DropDownDataWindow within a DataWindow object.

Use the GetChild method when you need to explicitly retrieve data for a DataWindowChild object. It automatically retrieves data for the child when retrieving the main DataStore, you need to explicitly retrieve data when there are retrieval arguments or when conditions change and you want to retrieve new rows.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to get the DataWindowChild in the specified column.

using DWNet.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.IDataStoreExamples
{
    public class GetChildExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

        public GetChildExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the data context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example1()
        {
            // Instantiates a DataStore object with datawindow: d_course.
            var datastore = new DataStore("d_course", _context);

            datastore.Retrieve();

            // The departmentid column has a DropDownDataWindow: dddw_deparment.
            var department = datastore.GetChild("departmentid");

            Console.WriteLine("DataWindowChild rowcount: {0}",
                department.RowCount);

            Console.WriteLine(
                "Department ID: {0}; Department Name: {1}",
                department.GetItem<int>(1, "departmentid"),
                department.GetItem<string>(1, "name"));

            /*This code produces the following output:
             
            DataWindowChild rowcount: 4
            Department ID: 2; Department Name: English
            */
        }
    }
}
