Class ArchiveConfigurationProviderBase

This base class provides common functionality for Dynamic MDO list providers that convert the list of supported columns or list of supported entities of an IArchiveProvider into MDO lists for use in a selection GUI. Derived classes provide functionality specific to column and entity lists, and further derivation brings us to the concrete level that also splices in current configuration data, if known.

Remarks

Specializations that override behaviour on a per-archive bases should probably be made from the or the ChooseEntityProvider classes. This top level and the level below (ArchiveColumnsProviderBase and ArchiveEntitiesProviderBase) contain functionality that is quite generic. Also keep in mind that setting mandatory columns and excluding columns is done through the GUI configuration XML, not through code at this level.

Properties

AllItems

This property provides an iterator that will go through all items as if we have a flat list, regardless of the actual structure (flat or with headings). Heading items are skipped.

HeadingItems

Return the heading items; this may be an empty list if we are in flat mode or there were no display name prefixes in the underlying providers' column lists. If a gui control name was passed in as extraInfo to the provider factory, the Selected property reflects whether the current configuration for that gui control has selected this column for display. The ExtraInfo property contains an orderby indicator; either Y or N or an existing orderby specification of the form n:A or n:D.

Methods

AcceptProvider(String)

This method is called once for every archive provider in the system. If it returns true, it means that this archive should be handled by this MDO column list provider. The generic and will handle any archives not handled by other, more specific implementations.

Declaration

protected virtual bool AcceptProvider(string providerName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	providerName	Name of archive provider

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this archive is to be handled by this MDO provider

BuildList(String, String, String, Boolean)

This method is called during stage 2 of the two-phase construction process (from the Construct(String, String, Int32[], Boolean, String, Boolean) method). The actual implementation of the list construction, including new'ing the _rootItems and _headingItems collections should be placed in this method. Note that _historyItems is by default always empty for this kind of list, so it is pre-allocated as such by this base class; implementers can override this behaviour if it makes sense to them.

Declaration

protected abstract void BuildList(string providerName, string guiControl, string searchValue, bool forceFlatList)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	providerName
String	guiControl	Name of GUI control, if provided by caller
String	searchValue	Search value, if provided by caller
Boolean	forceFlatList	Should the resulting list be forced to flat format (root items only)

Construct(String, String, Int32[], Boolean, String, Boolean)

Declaration

public void Construct(string listName, string additionalInfo, int[] historyIDs, bool onlyReadHistory, string searchValue, bool forceFlatList)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	listName	List name must be + an archive provider name, i.e., one of 'our' list names
String	additionalInfo	If given, must be the GUI name associated with the control.
Int32[]	historyIDs	Ignored, we have no history concept
Boolean	onlyReadHistory	If true, an empty list will be returned
String	searchValue	If set, only column names starting with the given string will be returned
Boolean	forceFlatList	If true, no grouping will occur

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	guiName	Name of gui control
Object	extraInfo
