Methods

Add(Sentry)

Adds a sentry to the collection, ex.

CanFieldDo(FieldInfo, EFieldRight)

Determine if the current user has at least one of the required access rights to a field belonging to the row this collection of sentries is protecting.

Checks each sentry in the collection to see if they have an opinion on the matter.

Declaration

public virtual bool CanFieldDo(FieldInfo field, EFieldRight rights)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
FieldInfo	field	field we want to know about
EFieldRight	rights	Rights we want to have to field

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if we have at least one of the rights to the field.

CanFieldDoAll(FieldInfo, EFieldRight)

Determine if the current user has all of the required access rights to a field belonging to the row this collection of sentries is protecting.

Checks each sentry in the collection to see if they have an opinion on the matter.

Declaration

public virtual bool CanFieldDoAll(FieldInfo field, EFieldRight rights)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
FieldInfo	field	field we want to know about
EFieldRight	rights	Rights we want to have to field

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if we have all of the rights to the field.

CanTableDo(TableInfo, ETableRight)

Determine if the current user has at least one of the required access rights to the row this sentry is protecting. Call each sentry in turn to see if it covers this table, and if so, ask its opinion and combine the results using the AND operation.

Declaration

public virtual bool CanTableDo(TableInfo table, ETableRight rights)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	table	the table we are interested in checking the rights to
ETableRight	rights	one or more of the ETableRight values combined as bitflags

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the user has at least one of the required access rights to the table.

Examples

SentryCollection c = new SentryCollection(); c.Add( new ContactSentry() ); c.Add( new PersonSentry() ); bool canModify = c.CanTableDo( ETableRight.Insert & ETableRight.Update, false );

CanTableDoAll(TableInfo, ETableRight)

Determine if the current user has all of the required access rights to the row this sentry is protecting. Call each sentry in turn to see if it covers this table, and if so, ask its opinion and combine the results using the AND operation.

Declaration

public virtual bool CanTableDoAll(TableInfo table, ETableRight rights)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	table	the table we are interested in checking the rights to
ETableRight	rights	one or more of the ETableRight values combined as bitflags

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the user has all of the required access rights to the table.

Examples

SentryCollection c = new SentryCollection(); c.Add( new ContactSentry() ); c.Add( new PersonSentry() ); bool canModify = c.CanTableDoAll( ETableRight.Insert & ETableRight.Update );

ClearRights()

Clear old data from the sentries, resetting the field-rights. Forces a recomputation of the rights using the new row-data.

Declaration

public void ClearRights()

EndIgnoreSentryCheck()

Collects zero or more sentries together in an group. Makes it easy to perform aggregated queries across the collection.

Remarks

Always returns Update right (Read+Write) when IgnoreSentry is set.

GetEnumerator()

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerator	a new enumerator

GetRowSentry()

Get a copy of the sentries holding the same references to table and field info.

Type	Description
SentryCollection	Copy of the sentry collection with new sentries holding the original table and field infos.

GetSentryCollectionForTable(TableInfo)

Declaration

public SentryCollection GetSentryCollectionForTable(TableInfo tableInfo)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	tableInfo

Returns

Type	Description
SentryCollection

GetSentryForTable(TableInfo)

Collects zero or more sentries together in an group. Makes it easy to perform aggregated queries across the collection.

Declaration

public Sentry GetSentryForTable(TableInfo tableInfo)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	tableInfo

Returns

Type	Description
Sentry

GetTableSentries(TableInfo)

Get all the sentries involved in the provided table. See remarks!

Declaration

public IEnumerable<Sentry> GetTableSentries(TableInfo table)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	table	Table to find sentries for.

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<Sentry>	Enumerator for sentries covering a given table.

Remarks

The primary task is to a) find the sentry that covers this instance, i.e., this particular TableInfo object. As a fallback for historical reasons, if no such match can be found, we then b) go on to match on the Definition, which ignores instances in the query and aliasing and just looks for the 'same' table by number.

If that also fails, c) a further search is made using the CanCoverTable(TableInfo) method, looking for sentries that do not have this table as their primary, but still have opinions about the table. This is an important mechanism to cover dependent table (email dependent on person, for instance).

In each case, multiple sentries can theoretically be present for a single table (don't think that happens in practice, but the design allows for it). However, once case a, b or c yields at least one sentry, the search stops.

Remove(Sentry)

Remove the sentries from the collection

Declaration

public void Remove(Sentry sentry)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Sentry	sentry

RemoveLookup(ISoDataLookup)

Remove the lookup from all the sentries in the collection

Declaration

public void RemoveLookup(ISoDataLookup lookup)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ISoDataLookup	lookup

TableRight(TableInfo)

Returns the tableright for the given table, based on combining the rights from all the sentries in the collection. The most restrictive right is returned (the bitmasks are ANDed together).

The table right contains the rights mask and a reason why some rights are restricted.

Declaration

public TableRight TableRight(TableInfo table)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TableInfo	table

Returns

Type	Description
TableRight	Will return a new tableright with full rights if the table is not covered by this sentry.

ToString()

Collects zero or more sentries together in an group. Makes it easy to perform aggregated queries across the collection.

Declaration

public override string ToString()

Returns

Type	Description
String
