Saving an order in 3.0

[uwdoug79]

The following code in the 3.0 Select SDK help file does not work.

Code: Select all

           // Create the server object.  Note the use of the constant to define custom login.
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential(@"<username>", @"<password>", SoftPro.Select.Client.Constants.SelectDomain);
            SelectServer server = new SelectServer(null, new Uri(@"http://localHost:80/SelectServer"), credential);

            // Create the order tracking client
            SoftPro.OrderTracking.Client.OrderTracking ot = server.GetService<SoftPro.OrderTracking.Client.OrderTracking>();

            using (IOrder order = ot.CreateOrder())
            {
                try
                {
                    // TODO: Manipulate the order

                    ValidationMessage[] messages;

                    // Save the order.  A failure to save will return false.  Error messages will be returned in
                    // the messages out parameter.
                    if (!ot.SaveOrder(order, out messages))
                    {
                        // Handle order save failure
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        // Handle order save success
                    }
                }
                finally
                {
                    // This MUST be called to release any locks on the order.
                    ot.CloseOrder(order);
                }
            }

What is the Cameron equivalent to saving a created order?
ot.SaveOrder is not a valid method. What would be the new way that returns the array of messages? ValidationMessage also is no longer a valid object.

Also,

Order.Number is no longer valid. When the order is returned after saving, how is the new order number created pulled out of the order object?

There's a sample in the following thread that shows saving an order. Basically, you use the IOrderStore.ApplyChanges() method:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=348

...and this thread has a sample of how to get the equivalent of "validationMessages" in 3.0. You can get use GetMessages right from IOrder:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=639

Order.Number is no longer valid

There are two different ways to get to properties on our non-strongly typed objects in 3.0. You can use a dynamic version of IOrder, which will let you just do order.Number
Or, all IOrderItems (like IOrder) have .GetProperty(), .SetProperty(), .HasProperty(), .GetIsSupported() methods you can use. So, can use IOrder.GetProperty("Number");
