Loading Single Object - refresh

[devoas]

Hi,

I am using scope.GetObjectById(oid) to load single Object.  How would I know that this is been retrieved from context or from Database, Do I need to refresh it or not......

Suppose I load Customer by following code..

            IObjectId oid = Database.OID.ParseObjectId(typeof(Customer), "1");

var record = (Customer)scope.GetObjectById(oid);

    .

    .

    .

    after few mins, I again call above code to get same object which was been modified by another user...

    How can I find if I need scope.refresh to get latest copy or not......    as If I cannot find and write   scope.Refresh(record);

    then for most of the cases, data will be retrieved from Database twice.

Thanks,

devoas

Hi devoas,

I am afraid this is not possible. Even if you have a version field in the class, a roundtrip to the database will be necessary in order to read the latest version value.
Note that as an alternative to the scope.Refresh() method you can do the reading within an active transaction. This would ensure that you are working with the latest data as well.

Dear Alexander

Thanks alot.

Please just confirm do I need to commit the active transaction after loading the Data or just Begin, Read and rollback active Transaction.

Thanks,

Hello devoas,

You do not need to commit the transaction if you have not made any changes. A rollback would be enough to end the transaction in such cases.

All the best,
