Recipe 6.7 Enforcing Business Rules with Column Expressions
Problem
You need to enforce a business rule based on multiple columns in a table at the user
interface tier
Solution
Use expression-based columns to enforce business rules at the user interface tier The
business rule for this solution is that the sum of Field1 and Field2 for a row in the table
must be 10
The schema of table TBL0607 used in this solution is shown in Table 6-5
Table 6-5 TBL0607 schema
The sample uses four stored procedures, which are shown in Example 6-21 through
Example 6-24:
SP0607_Delete
Used to delete a record from the table TBL0607 for a specified Id
SP0607_Get
Used to retrieve a record for a specified Id or all records from the table TBL0607 SP0607_Insert
Used to insert a record into the table TBL0607
SP0607_Update
Trang 2Used to update a record in the table TBL0607
Example 6-21 Stored procedure: SP0607_Delete
CREATE PROCEDURE SP0607_Delete
@Id int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
delete
from
TBL0607
where
Id=@Id
return 0
Example 6-22 Stored procedure: SP0607_Get
CREATE PROCEDURE SP0607_Get
@Id int=null
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
if @Id is not null
begin
select
Id,
Field1,
Field2
from
TBL0607
where
Id=@Id
return 0
end
select
Id,
Field1,
Field2
Trang 3from
TBL0607
return 0
Example 6-23 Stored procedure: SP0607_Insert
CREATE PROCEDURE SP0607_Insert
@Id int,
@Field1 int,
@Field2 int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
insert TBL0607(
Id,
Field1,
Field2)
values (
@Id,
@Field1,
@Field2)
if @@rowcount=0
return 1
return 0
Example 6-24 Stored procedure: SP0607_Update
CREATE PROCEDURE SP0607_Update
@Id int,
@Field1 int,
@Field2 int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
update
TBL0607
set
Field1=@Field1,
Field2=@Field2
where
Trang 4Id=@Id
if @@rowcount=0
return 1
return 0
The sample code contains three event handlers:
Form.Load
Sets up the sample by creating a DataTable and creating a schema for it matching TBL0607 in the database An expression column is added to the table The
calculation returns a Boolean value indicating whether the sum of Field1 and Field2 is equal to 10 A DataAdapter is created and event handler is attached to handle its RowUpdating event Delete, insert, and update commands using the stored procedures in this solution are created for the DataAdapter The
DataAdapter is used to fill the table and its default view is bound to the data grid
on the form
DataAdapter.RowUpdating
Checks whether a row is being updated or inserted and whether the value of the expression column is false indicating that the data is invalid according to the business rule defined by the expression in the column If the business rule has not been met, an error is set on the row and the update for the row is skipped
Update Button.Click
Uses the DataAdapter to update changes made to the DataTable back to table TBL0607 in the database
The C# code is shown in Example 6-25

Discussion
The RowUpdating event of the DataAdapter occurs during the Update( ) method before the command to update a row is executed against the data source The event fires with
each row update attempt
The RowUpdating event handler receives an argument of type RowUpdatingEventArgs that provides information specifically related to the event as described in Table 6-6
Table 6-6 RowUpdatingEventArgs properties Property Description
Command Gets the Command to execute during the Update( ) method
Errors Gets errors generated by the NET data provider when the Command
was executed
Trang 8Row Gets the DataRow to send through the Update( ) method
StatementType
Gets the type of SQL statement to execute This is one of the following values from the StatementType enumeration: Select, Insert, Update, or Delete
Status
Gets or sets the action to take with the current and remaining rows during the Update( ) method This is a value from the UpdateStatus enumeration (described in Table 6-7)
TableMapping Gets the DataTableMapping to send through the Update( ) method
Table 6-7 describes the values in the UpdateStatus enumeration used by the Status
property of the RowUpdatingEventArgs object
Table 6-7 UpdateStatus enumeration Value Description
Continue Continue processing the rows This is the default value
ErrorsOccurred The event handler reports that the update should be treated as
an error
SkipAllRemainingRows Do not update the current row and skip updating the
remaining rows
SkipCurrentRow Do not update the current row and continue updating with the
subsequent row
The Update( ) method of the DataAdapter raises two events for every row in the data
source that is updated The order of the events is:
1 The values in the DataRow are moved to parameter values
2 The OnRowUpdating event is raised
3 The update command executes against the row in the data source
4 If the UpdatedRowSource property of the Command is set to FirstReturnedRecord
or Both, the first returned result is placed in the DataRow
5 If the UpdateRowSource property of the Command is set to OutputParameters or
Both, the output parameters are placed in the DataRow
6 The OnDataRowUpdated event is raised
7 AcceptChanges( ) is called
If zero rows are affected, the DBConcurrencyException is raised during the update
operation on a row This usually indicates a concurrency violation
Trang 9The solution uses the RowUpdating event of the DataAdapter to check whether the expression column in the DataTable is true, indicating that the business rule has been satisfied, before a database record is updated If the expression if false, an error is set on the row and the Status is set to SkipCurrentRow preventing the record in the database from being updated and continuing the processing with the next row
