check properties of two objects for changes
- by k-hoffmann
Hi,
i have to develop a mechanism to check two object properties for changes.
All properties which are needed to check are marked with an attribute.
Atm i
- read all properties from acutal object via linq
- read the corresponding property from old object
- fill an own object with the two properties (old and new value)
In Code the call to the workerclass looks like this
public void CreateHistoryMap(BaseEntity actual, BaseEntity old)
{
CreateHistoryMap(actualEntity, oldEntity)
.ForEach(mapEntry => CreateHistoryEntry(mapEntry),
mapEntry => IfChangesDetected(mapEntry));
}
CreateHistoryMap builds up the HistoryMapEntry which contains the two properties.
CreateHistoryEntry build up the object which is saved to database, the IfChangesDetected check the object for changes.
I have to handle own special application types to generate history values to database (like concatinating list values and so on).
My problem is now, that i have to read the values of the properties twice
- for change detection
- and for the concreate CreateHistoryEntry
How can i eliminate this problem or how can i implement the change tracking scenario with the nice c# 3.5 features?
Thanks a lot.
