Hello,
I've a complex type mapped from a store, I need to have an IsItemBusy property for my View purpose (need to set @ true a busyindicator) how can I achieve this?

the only thing that came to my mind was creating an object that has all the properties of the one returned from DB plus this other one...

Thanks

Hi Paolo,

If you've mapped your ComplexType in your model, then DevForce should have generated its class as well. You don't need to create the class manually. Your complex type class will inherit from IdeaBlade.EntityModel.ComplexObject.

Since DevForce generates the class partially, you can define the IsItemBusy property inside your own partial class and expose it to your View.

You can read the following write-up for further info.  http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/model-complextype - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/model-complextype

Perfect! Thanks a lot, you saved me from writing a shave-of-code with the ResultComplexObject as a parameter for my viewmodel!
Thanks
