I use Unit of Work and Repository patterns in my software.
There is a dataGridView on form and it gets data from next way:
acceptedBonusesGrid.DataSource = _unitOfWork.DocumentRepository.GetDocumentsInfo();
GetDocumentsInfo is in DocumentRepository. GetDocumentsInfoes - is complex view with joins:
public IQueryable<GetDocumentsInfo> GetDocumentsInfo()
{
return _context.GetDocumentsInfoes;
}
When user double-clicks on record, it's form for editing this record appears. I send unit of work to form:
CorrectionAcceptedForm corrForm = new CorrectionAcceptedForm(_unitOfWork, docNum);
Form opens and link to unit of work is in use:
public CorrectionAcceptedForm(UnitOfWork unitOfWork, int docNum)
{
InitializeComponent();
_unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
_documentData = _unitOfWork.DocumentRepository.GetById(docNum);
AssignValues();
}
User makes changes in the record and saves changes:
private void SaveBill(int billId)
{
if (ValidateChildren())
{
SaveSupplierAddress();
Bill billData = _documentData.Bills.FirstOrDefault(bill => bill.BillId == billId);
if (billData != null)
{
billData.Description = descriptionTextbox.Text;
billData.Price = Convert.ToDecimal(priceTextbox.Text.Replace('.', ','));
_unitOfWork.Save();
}
}
}
When this correction form closes, then datagrid on main form reloads:
acceptedBonusesGrid.DataSource = null;
acceptedBonusesGrid.Columns.Clear();
acceptedBonusesGrid.DataSource = _unitOfWork.DocumentRepository.GetDocumentsInfo();
But after reload - all rows in datagrid are old, that was before making changes.
What is the problem?
After 3 months I have discovered problem.
GetDocumentsInfo() has to be like this:
public IQueryable<GetDocumentsInfo> GetDocumentsInfo()
{
_context.GetDocumentsInfoes.MergeOption = MergeOption.OverwriteChanges;
return _context.GetDocumentsInfoes;
}
Now my DataGrid updates when I make changes in child form.

I am updating the Notes on a Bill via some custom code in a graph extension. My problem is that the window that pops open when you click on the Notes icon in the upper-right corner of the screen does not reflect the changes that I made to the notes in code. If I use the < > buttons to scroll to another Bill and then back to the one that I updated, it shows the changes. So, I'm not sure how to get the notes to refresh.
This is on the AP301000 screen. I have tried Base.Document.View.RequestRefresh(), Base.Document.View.Clear() and calling the Base.Actions.PressSave() after my code changes the note for the Bill.
TIA!
Here's Code:
protected void APTran_RowInserted(PXCache cache, PXRowInsertedEventArgs e)
{
var row = (APTran)e.Row;
if (row == null)
return;
//*********************** copy notes and file attachments from PO lines and header to the Bill **********************************
if ((row.PONbr != null) && (row.POLineNbr != null))
{
POOrderEntry poEntry = (POOrderEntry)PXGraph.CreateInstance(typeof(POOrderEntry));
poEntry.Clear();
POOrder poHeader = poEntry.Document.Search<POOrder.orderNbr>(row.PONbr);
poEntry.Document.Current = poHeader;
POLine poLine = poEntry.Transactions.Search<POLine.lineNbr>(row.POLineNbr);
if (poLine != null)
{
PXNoteAttribute.CopyNoteAndFiles(poEntry.Caches[typeof(POLine)], poLine, cache, row); //// - use this for Notes and Files.
// making of copy of what the note is on the APInvoice at this point because the PXNoteAttribute.CopyNoteAndFiles() below
// will replace what is in the notes with what is in the PO instead of appending.
string oldNote = PXNoteAttribute.GetNote(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.CurrentDocument.Current);
PXNoteAttribute.CopyNoteAndFiles(poEntry.Caches[typeof(POOrder)], poHeader, Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.CurrentDocument.Current);
PXNoteAttribute.SetNote(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.CurrentDocument.Current, oldNote);
Base.Actions.PressSave();
string poNote = PXNoteAttribute.GetNote(poEntry.Caches[typeof(POOrder)], poHeader);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(poNote))
{
//string oldNote = PXNoteAttribute.GetNote(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.CurrentDocument.Current);
if ((oldNote == null) || !oldNote.Contains(poNote))
{
string newNote = "";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(oldNote))
newNote = poNote;
else
newNote = oldNote + Environment.NewLine + poNote;
//These 2 lines will not update the note without the PressSave();
//Guid noteGuid = (Guid)PXNoteAttribute.GetNoteID(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.CurrentDocument.Current, null);
//PXNoteAttribute.UpdateNoteRecord(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], noteGuid, newNote);
PXNoteAttribute.SetNote(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.Document.Current, newNote); // Sets the note but, screen does not refresh.
//Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)].Update(Base.Document.Current); //Does not refresh Notes on screen.
//PXNoteAttribute.GetNoteID<APInvoice.noteID>(Base.Caches[typeof(APInvoice)], Base.Document.Current); // Does not update the screen.
//Base.Caches[typeof(Note)].IsDirty = true; /// No Effect.
//Base.Caches[typeof(Note)].Clear(); //this has no effect on refreshing the notes that are seen on the screen.
//Base.Caches[typeof(NoteDoc)].Clear();
//Base.Actions.PressSave(); // blanks out the header if the Bill has never been saved. Does not refresh note on screen.
//Base.Document.View.Clear();
//Base.Document.View.RequestRefresh(); // this wipes out the new note if adding a second PO.
}
}
}
}
}
Here's the fix for this that I deployed. I'm thinking that there is a better way to do this but, seems to be working ok for now. I added this:
[PXOverride]
public void Persist(Action persist)
{
persist();
APInvoice invoice = (APInvoice)Base.CurrentDocument.SelectSingle();
if (invoice.Status == "H")
throw new PXRedirectRequiredException(Base, "Reloading Notes...");
}
So, I overrode the Persist() in order to refresh the page but, I only do that if the Bill is still on Hold. This refreshes the Notes that are shown on the screen.
I have two 3d buttons in my scene and when I gaze into any of the buttons it will invoke OnPointerEnter callback and saving the object the pointer gazed to.
Upon pressing Fire1 on the Gamepad I apply materials taken from Resources folder.
My problem started when I gazed into the second button, and pressing Fire1 button will awkwardly changed both buttons at the same time.
This is the script I attached to both of the buttons
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using Vuforia;
using System.Collections;
public class TriggerMethods : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
{
Material _mat;
GameObject targetObject;
Renderer rend;
int i = 0;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
TukarMat();
}
public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
{
targetObject = ExecuteEvents.GetEventHandler<IPointerEnterHandler>(eventData.pointerEnter);
}
public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
{
targetObject = null;
}
public void TukarMat()
{
Debug.Log("Value i = " + i);
if (i == 0)
{
ApplyTexture(i);
i++;
}
else if (i == 1)
{
ApplyTexture(i);
i++;
}
else if (i == 2)
{
ApplyTexture(i);
i = 0;
}
}
void ApplyTexture(int i)
{
rend = targetObject.GetComponent<Renderer>();
rend.enabled = true;
switch (i)
{
case 0:
_mat = Resources.Load("Balut", typeof(Material)) as Material;
rend.sharedMaterial = _mat;
break;
case 1:
_mat = Resources.Load("Khasiat", typeof(Material)) as Material;
rend.sharedMaterial = _mat;
break;
case 2:
_mat = Resources.Load("Alma", typeof(Material)) as Material;
rend.sharedMaterial = _mat;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
I sensed some logic error and tried making another class to only manage object the pointer gazed to but I was getting more confused.
Hope getting some helps
Thank you
TukarMat() is beeing called on both buttons when you press Fire1. If targetObject is really becoming null this should give an error on first button since it's trying to get component from a null object. Else, it'll change both as you said. Make sure OnPointerExit is beeing called.
Also, it seems you are changing the shared material.
The documentation suggests:
Modifying sharedMaterial will change the appearance of all objects using this material, and change material settings that are stored in the project too.
It is not recommended to modify materials returned by sharedMaterial. If you want to modify the material of a renderer use material instead.
So, try changing the material property instead of sharedMaterial since it'll change the material for that object only.
I have the following in a Section:
_favElement = new StyledStringElement (string.Empty);
_favElement.Alignment = UITextAlignment.Center;
if (_room.IsFavourite) {
_favElement.Image = UIImage.FromBundle ("Images/thumbs_up.png");
_favElement.Caption = "Unmark as Favourite";
} else {
_favElement.Image = null;
_favElement.Caption = "Mark as Favourite";
}
_favElement.Tapped += favElement_Tapped;
Then when I press the element I want the following to happen:
private void favElement_Tapped ()
{
if (_room.IsFavourite) {
_favElement.Image = null;
_favElement.Caption = "Mark as Favourite";
} else {
_favElement.Image = UIImage.FromBundle ("Images/thumbs_up.png");
_favElement.Caption = "Unmark as Favourite";
}
_room.IsFavourite = !_room.IsFavourite;
}
However the image and text does not change in the actual element when the element is tapped. Is there a refresh method or something that must be called? I've also tried changing the Accessory on Tapped as well and nothing changes. The properties behind do reflect the correct values though.
An alternative to reloading the UITableView is to reload the Element using code like this (copied from Touch.Unit):
if (GetContainerTableView () != null) {
var root = GetImmediateRootElement ();
root.Reload (this, UITableViewRowAnimation.Fade);
}
assuming that your code is in DialogViewController,add this
this.ReloadData();
but in your case I recommend you to use BooleanImageElement
I have problem that I don't seem to be able to solve. I have a created a test project, using MEF and Prism4. I've created a test project where I have 2 views and each of them register themselves inside a region, and also a button in another region. When the button is clicked, I want the view of change to the correct view. The code I think is wrong is below, anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong here ?
public void Initialize()
{
regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainRegion, typeof(Views.Module1View));
Button button = new Button() { Content = "Module1" };
button.Click += (o, i) =>
{
var region = this.regionManager.Regions[RegionNames.MainRegion];
if (region != null)
{
region.Activate(typeof(Views.Module1View));
}
};
regionManager.AddToRegion(RegionNames.NavigationRegion, button);
}
I get the following error ...
The region does not contain the specified view.
Parameter name: view
Solved it - amazing what a good nights sleep will do! I had to get the view from the ServiceLocator.
public void Initialize()
{
regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainRegion, () =>
ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<Views.Module2View>());
Button button = new Button() { Content = "Module2" };
button.Click += (o, i) =>
{
var view = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<Views.Module2View>();
var region = this.regionManager.Regions[RegionNames.MainRegion];
if (region != null)
{
region.Activate(view);
}
};
regionManager.AddToRegion(RegionNames.NavigationRegion, button);
}
I'm trying to configure the Quick Launch menu to only display the ancestors and descendant nodes of the currently select node. The menu also needs to display all the childern of the root node. More simply:
Given a site map of:
RootSite
---SubSite1 = navigation set at "Display the current site, the navigation items below the current site, and the current site's siblings"
-----Heading1 = navigation set at "Display the same navigation items as the parent site"
-------Page1 = navigation set at "Display the same navigation items as the parent site"
-------Page2 = navigation set at "Display the same navigation items as the parent site"
-----Heading2 = navigation set at "Display the same navigation items as the parent site"
---SubSite2 = navigation set at "Display the current site, the navigation items below the current site, and the current site's siblings"
-----Heading1 = navigation set at "Display the same navigation items as the parent site"
SiteMapProvider configuration:
<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDS" Runat="server"
SiteMapProvider="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" EnableViewState="true"
StartFromCurrentNode="true" ShowStartingNode="false"/>
The expected and actual behavior of the Quick Launch menu displayed at SubSite1 is:
---SubSite1
-----Heading1
-------Page1
-------Page2
-----Heading2
---SubSite2
The expected behavior of the menu after navigating to Heading1 of SubSite2:
---SubSite1
---SubSite2
-----Heading1
What I actually see after navigating to Heading1 of SubSite2:
---SubSite1
-----Heading1
-------Page1
-------Page2
-----Heading2
---SubSite2
-----Heading1
This does not match what I expect to see if I set the Heading1 navigation to "Display the
same navigation items as the parent site" and SubSite2 is set to "Display the current site, the navigation items below the current site, and the current site's siblings". I expect
Heading1 to inherit the navigation item of SubSite2 with the SubSite1 items collapsed from view. I've also played with the various
Trim... attributes without success. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I followed #Nat's guidance into the murky world Sharepoint webparts to achieve the behavior I described above. My approach was to roll my own version of the MossMenu webpart that Microsoft has released through the ECM Team Blog. This code is based on the native AspMenu control. I used this control to "intercept" the native SiteMapDataSource injected into through DataSourceId attribute in the markup and create a new XML data source to exhibit the desired behavior. I've included the final source code at the end of this wordy answer. Here are the bits from the master page markup:
<%# Register TagPrefix="myCustom" Namespace="YourCompany.CustomWebParts"
Assembly="YourCompany.CustomWebParts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5" %>
...
<myCustom:MossMenu ID="CurrentNav" runat="server" datasourceID="SiteMapDS"
orientation="Vertical" UseCompactMenus="true" StaticDisplayLevels="6"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="0" StaticSubMenuIndent="5" ItemWrap="false"
AccessKey="3" CssClass="leftNav"
SkipLinkText="<%$Resources:cms,masterpages_skiplinktext%>">
<LevelMenuItemStyles>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="Nav" />
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="SecNav" />
</LevelMenuItemStyles>
<StaticHoverStyle CssClass="leftNavHover"/>
<StaticSelectedStyle CssClass="leftNavSelected"/>
<DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="leftNavFlyOuts" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle CssClass="leftNavFlyOutsItem"/>
<DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="leftNavFlyOutsHover"/>
</myCustom:MossMenu>
<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDS" Runat="server"
SiteMapProvider="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" EnableViewState="true"
StartFromCurrentNode="true" ShowStartingNode="false"/>
...
I followed the excellent step-by-step instructions to create my custom web part in the comments section of the MossMenu webpart at "Wednesday, September 19, 2007 7:20 AM by Roel". In my googling, I also found something to configure a Sharepoint site to display exceptions in the same lovely way that ASP.NET does by making the web.config changes here.
I decided to call my custom behavior a "compact menu" so I created a UseCompactMenus property on the control. If you don't set this attribute in the markup to true, the control will behave identically to an AspMenu control.
My application has the user always starting from the home page at the site map root. I can have the custom control store the initial (complete) site map when the root page is displayed. This is stored in a static string for use in the customizing behavior. If you application doesn't follow this assumption, the control will not work as expected.
On the initial application page, only the direct child pages to the root page are displayed in the menu. Clicking on these menu nodes will open all the child nodes under it but keeps the sibling nodes "closed". If you click on one of the other sibling nodes, it collapses the current node and it opens the newly selected node. That's it, enjoy!!

I personally don't like the html that the default menu provides (table based layout).
Fortunately the SharePoint team has released the code for that control.
What we have done is to include that code in a project and have overridden the render method to do whatever we want. This give you the flexibility to define the exact relationship between parents that needs to be display as well as setting the styles on any divs you create.
On the down side you are now coding, not configuring and a change needs to be made to the master page you are using to use the control.
Worth it in my opinion. This is now a standard change we make for any site.
The approach we used to accomplish the affect you are looking for was to use the CSS Friendly Control Adapters. The adapters change the HTML that is rendered without changing the controls you used on your pages. You may need to tweak the menu adapter a little bit in order to get the layout you want. It only took a few lines of code for us. Once you get that working, you can use CSS to obtain the behavior you describe.
