Inheritance and parent object property

[Chicagoan2016]

We have written some base classes that inherit from 'BusinessBase' etc.
Our custom objects are then inherited from our base classes instead of BusinessBase (and other csla classes)
We decided to store the names of the objects making inserts/updates in the database and have a property for that in our base classes. Where should we set that property? Could we use the constructors? We do have more than one 'dataportal create' methods in most of our objects.

Kind Regards

Hi. Could you provide a code snippet? It depends on how you manage those settings?
Plain c# properties because they don't need to travel/are easily obtained or are they Csla properties?
The former constructor would be good. The latter on application context set so you didn't get null reference exceptions.

They are csla properties. We just need to update those properties with something like nameof(customclass).

This should be your place to go.

csla/Source/Csla/Core/BusinessBase.cs

Line 65 in b6196ca

protected override void OnApplicationContextSet()

But is the compile time constant worth the Csla overhead in that case?

I am thinking there is an easy way : )

What do you mean?
