I am trying to expose an editable Azure Table Storage table. (If it matters: to Win Phone 7 via the OData Client Lib CTP.) On the server side, I have a DataServiceContext : TableServiceContext, IDataServiceUpdateProvider
I can add and delete objects, but when I try to update a resource, SaveChanges() does not appear to "pick up" the values that had been assigned in the calls to SetProperty.
//Works fine
public object GetResource(IQueryable query, string fullTypeName)
{
var resource = query.Cast<MyDataModel>().SingleOrDefault();
if (fullTypeName != null && resource.GetType().FullName != fullTypeName)
{
throw new ApplicationException("Unexpected type for this resource");
}
return resource;
}
//Seems to work fine: gets called for each property.
public void SetValue(object targetResource, string propertyName, object propertyValue)
{
var propInfo = targetResource.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
propInfo.SetValue(targetResource, propertyValue, null);
}
//This gets called, but resource is not updated
void IUpdatable.SaveChanges()
{
//Forwarding from IUpdatable.SaveChanges() to DataServiceContext.SaveChanges()
base.SaveChanges();
}
UPDATE: Answer was to call UpdateObject() during SetValue():
public void SetValue(object targetResource, string propertyName, object propertyValue)
{
var propInfo = targetResource.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
propInfo.SetValue(targetResource, propertyValue, null);
UpdateObject(targetResource);
}
