Hello,
Before saving an object, i want it to do some validation. I thought of using the PreStore method from the IInstanceCallbacks interface to achieve this behaviour. However it seems the PreStore is also executed when flushing changes which results in faulty validation as the object isn't 'ready' yet. Is there a way to know is the PreStore is called because of a flush or a save?
Kind regards,
Stijn

Hello Stijn,
I'm afraid the API does not provide the information if the callback is called during a Flush or SaveChanges call although this is something you could very easily track within your code by setting a flag within encapsulated calls to Flush and SaveChanges.
I am not aware of the validations that you are performing but was wondering if the 'Context changes tracking' API would help in any way.
Do get back in case you need further assistance.

Hello Ady,
Unfortunatly the 'Context changes tracking' API is of no use as validation can only be done after i'm sure all changes that need to be made are made. I can of course manually call a validate function at the end of any changes that are being made but then i'd have to remember to write the validate on every function that makes changes.
Setting a flag is an option I will look into. Having this flag available in the IInstanceCallbacks methods however would be a much cleaner solution and possibly something to note for future versions?
