Access to the scope object from inside a persistent class' method

[Tomasz M.Lipiński]

Hi,

Let's assume that my persistent class inherits and implements the IInstanceCallbacks interface. I would like to do slightly different things while creating a new object and while modifying an existing one. I don't want to distinguish new and existing objects checking some properties for specific values (e.g. 0 for autoincrement identity). Outside the object I can use the scope object: scope.IsNew(persistent object) but when executing PreStore method (for example) I haven't got the scope object. This leads to this topic's title: the object is always maintained using some IObjectScope object; how (if ever) can I get this object being "inside" the persistent object?

Regards
Tomasz

Hello Tomasz M.Lipiński,

You can use the Database.GetContext(persistentCapableObject) method to achieve this. The GetContext method returns the object scope instance managing the passed object. In your case you should do the following:

IObjectScope scope = Database.GetContext(this) as IObjectScope;

Hope that helps.
