Code Snippet: Implementing an Updater
Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010
In this article
Example for a .NET Connectivity Assembly
Example for an ASP.NET Web Service
Example for a WCF Service
Additional Code Examples
The following code examples show how you can implement an Updater method instance in a .NET connectivity assembly and in a Web service.
Example for a .NET Connectivity Assembly
public void UpdateCustomer(Customer customer)
{
Customer oCustomer = GetCustomerByID(customer.CustomerID);
oCustomer.Industry = customer.Industry;
oCustomer.MobilePhoneNumber = customer.MobilePhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Name = customer.Name;
oCustomer.ParentCustomerID = customer.ParentCustomerID;
oCustomer.WebSite = customer.WebSite;
oCustomer.WorkPhoneNumber = customer.WorkPhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Version++;
oCustomer.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;
}
Example for an ASP.NET Web Service
[WebMethod]
public void UpdateCustomer(Customer customer)
{
Customer oCustomer = GetCustomerByID(customer.CustomerID);
oCustomer.Industry = customer.Industry;
oCustomer.MobilePhoneNumber = customer.MobilePhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Name = customer.Name;
oCustomer.ParentCustomerID = customer.ParentCustomerID;
oCustomer.WebSite = customer.WebSite;
oCustomer.WorkPhoneNumber = customer.WorkPhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Version++;
oCustomer.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;
}
Example for a WCF Service
The following code shows the operation definition in the service contract interface.
[OperationContract]
void UpdateCustomer(Customer customer);
The following example shows the implementation of the method instance.
public void UpdateCustomer(Customer customer)
{
Customer oCustomer = GetCustomerByID(customer.CustomerID);
oCustomer.Industry = customer.Industry;
oCustomer.MobilePhoneNumber = customer.MobilePhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Name = customer.Name;
oCustomer.ParentCustomerID = customer.ParentCustomerID;
oCustomer.WebSite = customer.WebSite;
oCustomer.WorkPhoneNumber = customer.WorkPhoneNumber;
oCustomer.Version++;
oCustomer.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;
}
Additional Code Examples
External System—.NET Connectivity Assembly
For example, for the Contact entity in a Microsoft SQL Server database, the Updater method might look similar to the following.
public static void Update(Contact contact)
{
const string ServerName = "MySQLServerName";
AdventureWorksDataContext dataContext = new AdventureWorksDataContext
("Data Source=" + ServerName + ";" +
"Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True");
var contactToUpdate = (from contacts in dataContext.Contacts
where contacts.ContactID == contact.ContactID
select contacts).Single();
contactToUpdate.FirstName = contact.FirstName;
contactToUpdate.LastName = contact.LastName;
contactToUpdate.EmailAddress = contact.EmailAddress;
contactToUpdate.Phone = contact.Phone;
contactToUpdate.EmailPromotion = contact.EmailPromotion;
contactToUpdate.NameStyle = contact.NameStyle;
contactToUpdate.PasswordHash = contact.PasswordHash;
contactToUpdate.PasswordSalt = contact.PasswordSalt;
contactToUpdate.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;
contactToUpdate.rowguid = Guid.NewGuid();
dataContext.SubmitChanges();
}
