QuoteConnectorExtender
This class is made to make it easier to make some installation-specific changes to a connector without changing the connector itself.
Just inherit QuoteConnectorExtender, override the function (-s) you need to change (or extend the functionality), and make SuperOffice connect to the new extender connector instead of the ERP connector (dynamicload section in the SuperOffcie.config file).
Fundamentally, this new connector puts itself between the ERPConnector and SuperOffice
QuoteConnectorExtender implementation
The QuoteConnectorExtender implements the IQuoteConnector API by wrapping another connector and delegating all calls to the wrapped connector.
To use the extender, you sub-class the QuoteConnectorExtender, and pass the name of the connector you would like to extend as part of the constructor call.
You then override any API calls that you want to change and leave the rest to the base implementation – which just forwards the calls to the wrapped connector.
Here we extend the SuperOffice quote connector, but we override the default implementation of OnQuoteLineChanged with our own custom logic.
MyQuoteConnector tells the extender to wrap the SuperOffice quote connector by passing the name to the base constructor.
Because the QuoteConnectorExtender class lives in the Plugins DLL, the MyQuoteConnector avoids taking direct dependency on the SoCore and SoDatabase DLLs, so it won’t be affected when a version change updates the SoCore assembly.
