The methods of the EasyObject class are listed below. For a complete list of EasyObject class members, see the EasyObject Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 AcceptChanges | Commits all the changes in the internal DataTable since the last time AcceptChanges was called. |
| AddColumn | After loading your BusinessEntity you can add custom columns, this is typically done to create a calculated column, however, it can be used to add a column just to hold state, it will not be saved to the database of course. |
| AddNew | Adds a new row to the internal DataTable. |
| DeleteAll | Marks every row in the internal DataTable as deleted. |
| Deserialize | Reload an EasyObject from a previous call to Serialize. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| FlushData | Resets the EasyObject to an empty state. |
| FromXml | Overloaded. Reload the EasyObject from a previous call to ToXml. Use the mode parameter for finer control. |
| GetChanges | Overloaded. Gets a copy of internal DataTable containing all the changes to it since it was last loaded, or since AcceptChanges was last called. |
| GetColumn | This is the typeless version, this method should only be used for columns that you added via AddColumn or to access extra columns brought back by changing your QuerySource to a SQL View. |
| GetDatabase | Get the database defined in the configuration file. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetItemString | Overloaded. Retrieves the string value of the SchemaItem |
| GetProperties | Retrieves the list of the object's properties using reflection and returns them in an array |
| GetPropertyByNamedValue | Retrieves the value of a property using the name via reflection |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| IsColumnNull | Checks if a particular column in the EasyObject has a null value. |
| Load | Overloaded. Loads the internal DataTable with the named table in a DataSet. |
| MarkAsDeleted | Marks the current row in the internal DataTable as deleted. |
| MoveNext | Moves the current row of internal DataTable. |
| RejectChanges | Rolls back the internal DataTable to the state is was in when it was loaded, or the last time AcceptChanges was called. |
| Rewind | Resets the internal DataTable to the first row. |
| RowState | Gets the current state of the current row in the internal DataTable. |
| Save | Overloaded. Overload to save with a default |
| Serialize | This method will allow you to save the contents of the EasyObject to XML. It is saved as a DataSet with Schema, data, and Rowstate as a DiffGram. You can load this data into another entity of the same type via Deserialize. Call GetChanges before calling Serialize to serialize only the modified data. |
| SetColumn | This is the typeless version, this method should only be used for columns that you added via AddColumn or to access extra columns brought back by changing your QuerySource to a SQL View. |
| SetColumnNull | Use this method to set a column to DBNull.Value which will translate to NULL in your DBMS system. |
| SetItem | Sets the value for a SchemaItem in the internal DataTable. |
| SetProperty | Sets a property value using the property name via reflection |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| ToXml | Overloaded. This method will allow you to save the contents of the EasyObject to XML. You can load this data into another EasyObject of the same type via FromXml. Call GetChanges before calling ToXml to serialize only the modified data. |
