subsonic . navigate among records ,view,query - subsonic

i'm some newbie in this matter of .net
i'm trying understand this new paradigm
i began with linq for SQl
but i found this library, kind of framework of T4
more specifically: subsonic T4
i think it could be very usefull
but the support docs outside are very scarce
my first intention is use them in the very simple form: a catalog
lets say... Users
so...
how can i use the model generated with subsonic
( using the iactiverecord)
to implement the record-navigational part.,...???!!!
i mean
i want a simple form
to create, delete or modify records
and that is fairy easy
but
what about to move among records ?
i found how to get the first, the last record..
but how can i advance or go back among them???
how can i order the records..?
it seems everytime imust query the table..
its so?
but how can imove among the records i already got?
all of the exmples found are very simple
dont touch the matter and/ or are repetitive everywhere
so.. please
if anybody can help me
or give more references...
i'd thank you a lot

SubSonic can return a List of your objects if you call ExecuteTypedList or ToList on a query e.g.
List<Product> products = Products.All().ToList();
Once you've got a List then you can move around it in memory. Have a look at the following references to learn more about collections in .net:
System.Collections.Generic Namespace
IEnumerable<(Of <(T>)>) Interface
List<(Of <(T>)>) Class

Best way to implement ACL with Mongoose

I have my data model already defined and implemented. I can very easily write manually the filter to filter out non-authorized results for the user who sent the query (which would be in the style of: "collection.acl.personId": queryPersonId )
My problem is, where and how should I write this "thing" to be as automatic as possible?
I tried to do it with a custom query and a static method, but did not had any luck on both.
Static method con: I don't want to rewrite all my code to use .then(). I want to keep the current chaining.
Custom query: it simply did not worked, even by following the doc.
Ideal the result would be something like
Model.findWithAcl(filters).lean()
Model.findOneWithAcl(filters).lean()
Note that we are using Typescript. The priority would be to have something working, but having the ability to have a working type would be the second priority right after.
Thanks for any help
Casl mongoose gives a very good way of filtering both results (row level) and fields from collections. Note that it also can be used in the front end.
Great package that works very well with auth0 rights.

Hyperlink to a secondary query in the results of an AutoQuery UI using ServiceStack

Firstly, I am amazed at how simple and performant ServiceStack is. Can't believe I've gone without sing this for so long.
I'm especially loving the AutoQuery and Admin feature, but for the life of me, I'm struggling to find documentation on how to extend the response. What I am trying to do is provide a hyperlink in a response to enable navigation right from a row that is returned.
For example, if a list of records are returned from /records, and the primary key (Id field) could actually be a link (ie ABC123) that is its own DTO.
I've noticed the AutoQueryMetadataFeature, so suspect this provides some hints, but very new to the whole solution so any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

How to create and fetch relational records in core data

Total newbie question now... Suffice to say, I have searched for a completely noddy explanation but have not found anything 'dumb' enough. The problem is...
I have created a core data stack in which I have a entity called 'Client' and an entity called 'Car'. It is a one-to-many relationship.
So far i have successfully created and fetched the client list using code from apple's tutorial. Once I select a client, I then push a new tableViewController which should list the Cars for that chosen client.
First question...
I am used to sql style database programming where if I wanted to add a car to a client, I would simply add a 'ClientID' tag to the 'Car' record thereby providing the relationship to a specific client. How do I do the equivalent in core data? My understanding from my reading is adding attributes to point to other entities isnt necessary - core data maintains this relationship for you without needing additional attributes in the entities.
Second question...
As and when I have created a 'car' entity and successfully linked it to a 'Client'. How to I create a fetch which will retrieve just THAT client's cars. I could alter the code from apple to fetch ALL cars but I don't know how to fetch cars associated with a given client. From my reading, I think I need to use predicates, but apples predicate documentation stands alone and does not give clear guidance on how to use it with core data
I realise how noddy this is, but I cant find an idiots guide anywhere...
Any help/code exmaples much appreciated.
OK, I have answered my own question. For those who have found my question and would like to know the answer, it is extremely simple...
Firstly, to create a 'Car' and associate it with a 'Client'. Firstly create a 'Car' as you normally would and simply add this line of code...
newCar.client = client;
This sets the 'client' relationship on the 'Car' record to the client in question.
Secondly, I had thought that if you had a client and needed to find their cars, you would need a new fetch. But not so! Simply use the following lines of code...
NSSet *cars = client.cars;
[self setCarsArray:[cars allObjects]];
The first line uses "client.cars" o follow the object graph to determine the cars this client has and populates them in an NSSet. The second line then populates a NSArray which is declared in the current viewcontroller which can be used to for display purposes.
Sorted!!

Query and/or Search for SharePoint Document ID

We have the sharepoint 2010 environment with Document ID's enabled.
Given (part of) a Doc ID, we want to programmatically retrieve the document(s) matching that ID. The problem seems to be that this column is rather special, in that it might need special handling.
Using an SPSiteDataQuery, fetching the _dlc_DocId field as part of the viewfields works fine. However, including it as part of the where query never results in any documents being fetched.
Using the Search API has gotten us nowhere at all.
Has anyone pulled this off, or any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
[Update] Turns out we were fooled by subtle errors in the XML and bad debugging misinterpretations. This stuff just works fine.
I don't normally contribute to these sorts of things because cleverer people than I always get there before me, but as this is an old one with no proper answer I think I'll add my thoughts for those who find this page.
I was struggling with this but after a little digging around and learning a bit of Caml I got this working.
I am using the SharePoint Client Object Model against SharePoint 2010 and Office365 beta.
Start off your query by looking at the all list items query:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery().ViewXml
"<View Scope=\"RecursiveAll\">\r\n <Query>\r\n </Query>\r\n</View>"
Stick a where child inside the query
Then add in
<Eq><FieldRef Name="_dlc_DocId" /><Value Type="Text">MDXC2KE55ASN-3-80</Value></Eq>
replacing MDXC2KE55ASN-3-80 with the doc ID you are looking for inside the where.
Also don't forget you might want to make use of these too:
<ViewFields><FieldRef Name="_dlc_DocId" /></ViewFields>
<RowLimit>1</RowLimit>
Then use List.GetItems() method to bring back the ListItemCollection.
Just in case nobody comes with a slick solutions from the depths of the Sharepoint infrastructure:
What would Google Do?
Slice is, Dice it and dump it in a reverse index.
Solr and Lucene offer supreme tools for this. The idea is to cut the DocId's in small pieces and add the location of the document to the bucket for that piece.
Say We have "A real nice document" with Id ABCD123. You would add it to the buckets
ABCD, BCD1, CD12, D123
When searching for a partial ID (+ other data like dates, types, ...) you (well the search engine) creates the union of the buckets + applies additonal constraints.
To make this happen you need to write a spider for the sharepoint server and a routine which makes a record of data elements to be indexed.
Put a nice REST interface in frnt of it (actually SOLR already has that), integrate it in the main sharepoint server, and nobody needs to know there is something else running behind it.
These products can also incrementally update the indexes, so they can be kept up to date.
you could use the following to get the Document ID.
SPFile file = MethodToUploadFileToServer(web, filepath);
SPListItem item = file.Item;
string DocID = item.Properties["_dlc_DocId"].ToString();

Regarding MOSS or WSS 3.0, What parts of the API might have been implemented better?

Such as:
Sealed Methods you might have liked to extend
Exceptions thrown are more vague than is helpful
Elimination of Connected Content which was a major feature in MCMS 2002
HTML is stripped from fields when stored and returned. No easy option to work around this problem
Creating an SPWeb takes an eternity.
Nonexistant migration path from MCMC 2002
I wish that the Sharepoint object model was purely managed code. Although having .NET wrappers is convenient, having to worry about disposing the many objects that implement IDisposable is a pain. It's so easy to run into memory issues when dispose does not get called in a WSS app. And I thought the reason for moving to .NET was to free developers from having to deal with memory management...
How about refactoring Properties that result in additional database calls to methods instead, for example the Items property on SPList.
Any of the SPList API could use a complete rewrite. Trying to deal with libraries with nested folders is a complete nightmare with the list being completely flattened with no obvious hierarchical structure.
Another wonderful addition would be adding interfaces to SPWeb, SPList and other Sharepoint classes to aid testing.
Has anyone seen this method:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges.aspx This method shows the unbelievable nonsense that Sharepoint exposes to developers.
My personal favourite is the SPField.GetFieldValue Method. I have no idea why they designed it the way they did, but to me it does hardly make sense. To get a object out of a ListItem you have to do somethine like:
SPField field = ((SPList)list).Fields.GetField("FieldName");
object fieldValue = field.GetFieldValue(((SPListItem)item)[field.Title].ToString());
Getting an object out of a ListItem is IMO a basic operation, so this should not be that complicated.
Inconsistencies when passing field names to methods or arrays. For example:
SPFieldCollection.ContainsField(): Internal name or display name
SPFieldCollection.GetField(): Internal name or display name
SPFieldCollection.GetFieldByInternalName(): Internal name
SPFieldCollection.Item: Display name
SPListItem.Item: Internal name or display name
SPListItem.GetFormattedValue(): Internal name or display name
SPViewFieldCollection.Exists: Internal name
To put the icing on the cake, there is usually no documentation about whether a method takes internal and/or display name.
