CFunction[] FuncResults = CFunction.GetFunctions(user, CEvent);

This is what I tried and it says:

Error 10 'Asi.iBO.Events.CEvent' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'

I tried [] and still not work.

You need to supply an instance of a CEvent:


CEvent myEvent = /* obtain reference to your event... */
Hashtable functionList = CFunction.GetFunctions(myUser, myEvent);


As you can see, I'm trying to place the results "FuncResults" into a formview and this is the code so far. I just got back into .net and I'm very rusty. The first two lines here are the rub. The 1st line is still throwing errors. Do I or should I be using the hashtable as you outlined in line two?

CEvent myEvent = CEvent;
CFunction[] FuncResults = CFunction.GetFunctions(user, myEvent);
if (FuncResults.Length > 0)
{
CFunctionSorter sorter = new CFunctionSorter(FunctionSortBy.BeginDateTime);
Array.Sort(results, sorter);

// bind the array to the formview
ViewFuncResults.DataSource = FuncResults;
ViewFuncResults.DataBind();
//ViewResults.DataItem..Focus();

// show the formview
ViewFuncResults.Visible = true;
}
// if we did not get any...
else
{
// hide the formview
ViewFuncResults.Visible = false;
}

In the first line you need to get a reference to some CEvent of interest. In the second line you are correct that you need to use a Hashtable or some interface that Hashtable implements. Something like this, perhaps:


CEvent myEvent = new CEvent(loginUser, "EVENT1");
Hashtable functions = CFunction.GetFunctions(loginUser, myEvent);
foreach (CFunction function in functions)
{
// do something
}


The ToString() method of CFunction is the default implementation, which just displays the name of the class. You need to cast the Hashtable values to the CFunction type; then you ought to be able to access them:

foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in functions)
{
    CFunction function = entry.Value as CFunction;
    if (function != null)
    {
          // do what you like...
          if (function.ActualAttendance > 0)
          {
                    // whatever
           }
    }
}

Thanks for your patience. My experience has been pulling data directly from the database for years. Now I've got to use the bussiness object along with other objects that I need to use to pull the data from the Bus obj. Dot net is the best way to go but it may take me a while to get settled in. If you know of any classes that deal with dot.net and the imis ibo.net, let me know.

Thanks again : )
