Where is the DataAdapter's RowUpdated Event

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me how and were you do this and, more importantly, how I can use it. My understanding of how IdeaBlades works is that before updates are issued to the DB your framework calls the ConvertTempIdsToRealIds method. This method gets the next identity value(s) from the DB prior to submitting any inserts to the DB and updates the appropriate entities and their child entities. This approach does not work for the version of Informix that we are using. We need to perform the actual insert and then the DB generates the next identity value (or in Informix speak, the next serial value). Then before any other sql statements are executed, we need to get the newly generated serial value from the DB. Then of course we need the entity to be updated with this value and any children entities to have their linking columns updated before they are saved to the DB.

Hopefully I am just missing something here and you do have a mechanism built in to support this.

Hi everybody,

We are evaluating the use of IdeaBlades against an Informix database. Our existing database heavily uses serial columns. As I understand it IdeaBlades does not come with support for serial columns. By "support for serial columns" I mean that there is no support for retrieving the newly generated serial value from the database and updating the appropiate entity with it.

So I thought I might be able to handle the DataAdapter's RowUpdated event to step in and retrieve the newly generated serial value from the database and update the entity myself. Unfortunately I can't found where IdeaBlades surfaces this event. Can anybody tell me how I can handled this event using IdeaBlades?

Thanks.
