Subsonic 3 equivalent of Subsonic 2 SetColumnValue and GetColumnValue ActiveRecord

Question

I am converting a project from Subsonic Version 2.2 to 3.0.0.3 and have been unable to find the equivalent functionality of SetColumnValue and GetColumnValue that version 2 has.

What does version 3 have that is equivalent to these?

Answer 1

There is currently no equivalent functionality. The 3.x generated classes use backing fields for properties instead having an underlying data store. Right now, you would need to use reflection.

Answer 2

I think you need something like this:

Person p = new Person(x => x.ID == 3);

// replacement for SetColumnValue    
p.GetType().GetProperty("FirstName").SetValue(p, "Stinky", null);


// replacement for GetColumnValue    
string s = p.GetType().GetProperty("FirstName").GetValue(p, null) as String;
