IDataStore.ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer dwbuffer, bool changedOnly) Method

.NET Standard 2.x | Current Version (1.0.1)

0.5.0-alpha

1.0.1 (current)

Exports all rows or only the changed rows from all or specified buffers to a plain-format JSON string.

Namespace: PowerBuilder.Data

Assembly: PowerBuilder.Data.dll

Syntax

  public string ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer dwbuffer, bool changedOnly);

Parameters

dwbuffer PowerBuilder.Data.DwBuffer

A value of the DwBuffer enumerated datatype identifying the DataWindow buffer from which you want to export the data. For a list of valid values, see DWBuffer. If not specified, all of the DataWindow buffers will be exported, however, the data for DataWindowChild will not be exported (even if changedonly is false).

changeOnly System.Boolean

A Boolean specifying the changing flag.

True -- to export the changed rows only (and all rows of the delete buffer).

False (default) -- to export all rows.

Returns

System.String

Returns the JSON string if it succeeds.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to export the changed department records from the primary buffer to JSON strings using the changeOnly argument. When changeOnly is true, exports the modified data from the primary buffer to a JSON string; when changeOnly is false, exports all data from the primary buffer to a JSON string.

using System;

            // Generates data in the primary/delete/filter buffers for this example.

            datastore.SetFilter("departmentid < 5");
            datastore.Filter();

            // Exports the modified data from the primary buffer
            string json1 = datastore.ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer.Primary, true);

            Console.WriteLine("datastore.ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer.Primary,true):");
            Console.WriteLine(json1);

            /*The exported JSON file is:

            ExportPlainJson3_1.json  
            */

            // Exports all data from the primary buffer
            string json2 = datastore.ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer.Primary, false);

            Console.WriteLine("datastore.ExportPlainJson(DwBuffer.Primary, false):");
            Console.WriteLine(json2);
