Class QuoteListsByNameProvider

Wildcard list provider for Quote Management lists; see remarks for naming conventions. If you cannot dynamically generate the proper list name, then see QuoteListsByIdProvider, which has a fixed name and instead takes a QuoteAlternativeId.

public sealed class QuoteListsByNameProvider : IWildcardMDOProvider, IPlugin
Remarks

Quote lists, supplied by the Quote Management connectors, adhere to the following naming convention:
If the list is named 'PaymentTerms', and the context is sale with id 5, then the list name QM_5_PaymentTerms will retrieve the correct list via the correct connector.

The first part must be uppercase QM, the second part must be a valid sale that has a quote, and the third part must be a list name recognized by the connector. Underscore is the delimiter character.

Quote list dispatching is a two-step process. A Quote Connector may choose to implement its own MDO List provider(s), in which case the lists must be called "<ListName><ConnectorName>". If such a provider plugin class exists, then it will be called.

Otherwise, we dispatch to a generic facade that will in turn call the plugins' method, which is a much simpler interface to implement than the full-size MDO provider. If the connector does not have that capability, then we finally give up.

If the call fails for any reason, then an empty list is returned. Only flat lists are supported by this mechanism. Quote Connector assemblies may implement their own WildcardMDOProvider that has a different behaviour (icons, headings etc) if they wish to do so - just use a low priority value in the declaring attribute and you will be called first.

If the saleId is 0, then an aggregate list from all visible connectors is requested (good for searching). Delegates to list "erpProductFamily" or "ErpProductCategory" list provider, which calls us back once for each list the user can see.
