Reload object

[yshld]

Hi,

I have a Contact object, after some modification on the object properties, I want the object to be reloaded to its initial state which is the same as the values stored in the database. How could I discard the changes to the properties and reload the object?

Thanks a lot!

You can try this to remove your contact object from cache :

Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.Evict(object.GetType(), object.Id);

and then reload it with:

Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.GetById(object.GetType(), object.Id);

Hope this helps...

It doesn't work.

I tried above, but after reload, the modify date is still not changed. However, when I query the database outside SalesLogix, I can see the valud there already updated.

Try the typed version instead.  Note that this assumes that the variable 'a' contains an Account:

   Sage.Platform.EntityFactory.Evict<Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IAccount>(a.Id);

After doing this, I typically re-direct back to whatever page I was on in order to pick up the new data.

This redirect code works in a code snippet:

using System.Web;
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString());
