How to get Task Status from tasks in Checklist and Request list.

[jturek]

Hi Team,

The requirement is to get task status of some of tasks in Checklist and Requested list.
For this written the below code and gets the task list. Now I have to compare the task description and get its Status.

Code: Select all

                            IOrder order = os.OpenOrder(search, true);

                            // Get list of tasks and add all task types to it.
                            IList tasks = (IList)order.GetProperty("Tasks");

                            // Cast to dynamic to make TaskList handling easier.
                            dynamic taskList = (dynamic)tasks;                            

                            Dictionary<string, string> CheckAndRequestList = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                            CheckAndRequestList.Add("210 Seller Figures", "");
                            CheckAndRequestList.Add("220 Lender Figures", "");
                            CheckAndRequestList.Add("110 Proceeds", "");
                            CheckAndRequestList.Add("ALTA Settalment Statement", "");

                         
                            foreach (dynamic taskItem in taskList)
                            {
                                string taskName = CheckAndRequestList.Keys.FirstOrDefault(s => s == taskItem.Description.ToString());
                                if (CheckAndRequestList.ContainsKey(taskName))
                                {
                                   // Get the task status here
                                    CheckAndRequestList[taskName] = <<How we can get task status here>>;
                                }
                                
                            }

Please suggest for the same.

Have you tried putting in a breakpoint inside your tasklist loop and seeing what's there? Given the dynamic nature of model, it is a valuable technique to learn.

In addition, you can navigate to the "Order.Tasks" object in the Field Code Browser in the Select UI. (This is the base class from which ChecklistTask and RequestedTask inherit.) It has a property named Status that is of type TaskStatusType. This type is an enum that is in our public libraries and is in the SDK documentation. This enables you to do operations like:

Code: Select all

// 'theTask' is an order Task, ChecklistTask, or RequiredTask.

TaskStatusType type = (TaskStatusType )theTask.GetProperty("Status");
if (type == TaskStatusType.Required)
{
    ...
} 

Be aware that there are behavior differences between the different types of tasks. For instance, a ChecklistTask Status cannot be set to 'Received'.

Now successfully received the task status of given task names(Description).
Is this right approach to fetch the task status of given task name ?

Code: Select all

			    // Open Order.
                            IOrder order = os.OpenOrder(search, true);

                            // Get list of tasks and add all task types to it.
                            IList tasks = (IList)order.GetProperty("Tasks");

                            // Get the CheckList and Request list  task status                            
                            var RequiredTaskList = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.AllKeys.Where(k => k.StartsWith("TaskList.")).ToDictionary(k => k.Split('.')					 
  [1], v => ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[v]);

                            foreach (var itemKey in RequiredTaskList.Keys.ToList())
                            {
                                dynamic task = ((IEnumerable<dynamic>)tasks).Where(x => x.Description == itemKey).FirstOrDefault();
                                if (task != null)
                                    objSoftProOrderEntity.CheckAndRequestList[itemKey] = task.Status.ToString();
                            }

This gives output as below

The task related lines look fine.
