Very new to using Matisse so I don't know if I'm just flat out doing this wrong or something. I have a table containing usernames and passwords for the system, along with the following method...
public List<Users> FindUsers()
{
List<Users> users = new List<Users>();
//Users obj;
executeCmd("SELECT * FROM Users");
while (Reader.Read())
{
Users obj = new Users(db, 0x10ff);
users.Add(obj);
}
reader.Close();
return users;
}
Which I had hoped would simply pull all records from the table, drop them in a list and return that list. The problem however lies with this line of code here.
Users obj = new Users(db, 0x10ff);
I can only seem to pull one record, entering '0x10ff' as a parameter(the records OID) will return that record, which works with any record I try. Leaving it blank(i.e. '(db)' ) throws a Matisse exception(InvalidOperation) and entering anything else other than a specific records OID returns an ObjectNotFound exception. Am I just doing something totally stupid here? What am I missing?
Thanks
EDIT: db refers to the database connection, shown below, DBAcess being a class with connectivity & query functionality.
private MtDatabase db;
public DBAccess()
{
db = new MtDatabase(Properties.Settings.Default.Host, Properties.Settings.Default.Database);
db.Open();
}
And as for the constructers, I left them as the default ones when I imported the classes from Matisse
// Generated constructor, do not modify
/// <summary>
/// The factory constructor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="db">a database</param>
/// <param name="mtOid">an existing object ID in the db</param>
public Users(MtDatabase db, int mtOid) :
base(db, mtOid) {
}
// Generated constructor, do not modify
/// <summary>
/// Cascaded constructor, used by subclasses to create a new object in the database
/// </summary>
/// <param name="clsObj">the class descriptor of the class to instantiate</param>
protected Users(MtClass clsObj) :
base(clsObj) {
}
#endregion
// GEN_END: Matisse Generated Code - Do not modify
// Generated constructor
/// <summary>
/// Default constructor provided as an example. NOTE: You may modify or delete this constructor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="db">a database</param>
public Users(MtDatabase db) :
base(GetClass(db)) {
}
Have now sorted this out, turns out I was just doing it wrong.
Instead of trying to retrieve the values with the reader, if you instead return the object and then use that to create a new User containing the values of said object, that works. Not sure if that really explains it all that well so here is the updated, working code.
public List<Users> FindUsers()
{
List<Users> users = new List<Users>();
executeCmd("SELECT REF(Users) FROM Users c");
while (Reader.Read())
{
MtObject obj = Reader.GetObject(0);
users.Add(new Users(db, obj.MtOid));
}
Reader.Close();
return users;
}
