AddNew Method (ClarifyGeneric)

Adds a new row and schedules it for creation in the database when Update is called

Adds a new row, optionally copying values from an existing row, and schedules it for creation in the database when Update is called.

Overload List

Overload	Description
AddNew()	Adds a new row and schedules it for creation in the database when Update is called
AddNew(ClarifyDataRow)	Adds a new row, copying values from the specified original row, and schedules it for creation in the database when Update is called.

Remarks

All fields are initialized with their default values (i.e. NULL for relations, 0 for integer fields, etc). You can set individual fields using the ClarifyDataRow indexer and relate rows using one of the relate methods, such as RelateRecord. You can relate newly-added rows to other rows (even other newly-added rows). ClarifyGeneric will resolve the objids of new records properly when Update or UpdateAll is called.

If you do not supply an objid, ClarifyGeneric will generate a proper objid for the newly-added row. A custom objid can be provided and ClarifyGeneric will not tamper with the objid. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the custom objid is unique within the system, otherwise data corruption could occur.

NOTE: If you have previously executed a query on this generic using a list of specific data fields, calling this method will fill in the rest of the columns for this table. This is different than previous functionality in FCFL(COM) which would throw an error if data fields were used to query originally.

Example

This example shows how to add a new row, associate it with other rows and update it to the database. In this example, the objid is generated automatically for the row.

// First, create a new ClarifyDataSet
ClarifyDataSet dataSet = new ClarifyDataSet(session);

// Get one specific contact
ClarifyGeneric gContact = dataSet.CreateGeneric("contact");
gContact.AppendFilter("objid", NumberOps.Equals, 268435457);

// Get one specific site
ClarifyGeneric gSite = dataSet.CreateGeneric("site");
gSite.AppendFilter("objid", NumberOps.Equals, 268435457);

// Query both via the ClarifyDataSet
dataSet.Query(gContact, gSite);

// Now create a new contact role
// Set it as a secondary role and relate it to the contact
// and site
// NOTE: In order for RelateRecord to work, the two generics
//    must be in the same ClarifyDataSet
ClarifyGeneric gRole = dataSet.CreateGeneric("contact_role");
ClarifyDataRow row = gRole.AddNew();
row["primary_site"] = 2;
row["role_name"] = "Default";
row.RelateRecord( gContact[0], "contact_role2contact" );
row.RelateRecord( gSite[0], "contact_role2site" );
row.Update();

Visual Basic

' First, create a new ClarifyDataSet
Dim dataSet As New ClarifyDataSet(session)

' Get one specific contact
Dim gContact As ClarifyGeneric = dataSet.CreateGeneric("contact")
gContact.AppendFilter("objid", NumberOps.Equals, 268435457)

' Get one specific site
Dim gSite As ClarifyGeneric = dataSet.CreateGeneric("site")
gSite.AppendFilter("objid", NumberOps.Equals, 268435457)

' Query both via the ClarifyDataSet
dataSet.Query(gContact, gSite)

' Now create a new contact role
' Set it as a secondary role and relate it to the contact
' and site
' NOTE: In order for RelateRecord to work, the two generics
'    must be in the same ClarifyDataSet
Dim gRole As ClarifyGeneric = dataSet.CreateGeneric("contact_role")
Dim row As ClarifyDataRow = gRole.AddNew()
row("primary_site") = 2
row("role_name") = "Default"
row.RelateRecord( gContact(0), "contact_role2contact" )
row.RelateRecord( gSite(0), "contact_role2site" )
row.Update()
