Identity Manager 9.2 - API Development Guide

Type-safe classes

Type-safe classes allow you to use the database model in a type-safe way. This gives you the following advantages:

  • Compiling scripts checks whether the classes used are correct. This allows you to detect spelling mistakes in table and column names early on.

  • The development environment can offer auto-completion.

  • The column's data type is detected, which prevents type conversion errors.

To use type-safe classes

  1. Edit the corresponding API plug-in (see Editing API plug-ins) and proceed as follows:

    • Add a reference to the type-safe class library of the corresponding database module (AOB.TypedWrappers.dll for example).

      This makes the classes for this module available in the <module name>.TypedWrappers namespace (AOB.TypedWrappers for example).

User-defined methods

User-defined methods are methods for which you fully define the processing, input, and output data in code. This type therefore offers the greatest flexibility.

For examples for the user-defined methods, see the SDK under Sdk01_Basics\03-CustomMethod.cs.

SQL methods

SQL methods are methods that provide data from a predefined SQL query through the API. Create the parameters of a query as SQL parameters.

For examples for the definition of SQL methods, see the SDK under Sdk01_Basics\02-BasicSqlMethod.cs.
