Find methods
Each Data Object has methods for searching by their property values. For each property is a method "FindBy<property name>" generated.
So if you want to find all employees with a special postal code you can use:
IList<Employee> list = Employee.FindByPostalcode("1234*"); |
If the property has the data type string, you can also use '*' as a wildcard.
To get a sorted result set, you can pass a sort clause to the Find methods:
EmployeeSortClause sortClause = new EmployeeSortClause(); sortClause.AddLastname(); sortClause.AddFirstname(); IList<Employee> list = Employee.FindByPostalcode("1234*", sortClause); |
This will return the Employee objects in a (Lastname,Firstname) order.
