Referring to the following post: http://ippdocs.intuit.com/0025_QuickBooksAPI/0050_Data_Services/v2/0400_QuickBooks_Online/Customer/Custom_Fields_for_Customer_and_Job
I am specifically looking for accounts in my QBO that have a parent -> child relationship. Howewver, in cases where Bill With Parent is true, there is no value coming in for "Resale Number," which I would assume would be the parent's QBO Id?
Any help clarifying on how to pull this information would be helpful.
In C# I'm doing the following and looping the accounts available:
var qboCustomer = new Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.Customer();
var qboCustomers = commonService.FindAll(qboCustomer, page, custKnt).ToList();
custKnt = qboCustomers.Count;
foreach (var c in qboCustomers)
{
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.BooleanTypeCustomField parentBilling = (Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.BooleanTypeCustomField)c.CustomField.Where(a => a.DefinitionId == "Bill With Parent").FirstOrDefault();
if (parentBilling != null)
{
if (parentBilling.Value == true)
{
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.StringTypeCustomField resaleNum = (Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.StringTypeCustomField)c.CustomField.Where(a => a.DefinitionId == "Resale Number").FirstOrDefault();
if (resaleNum != null)
{
//do some stuff, however, resaleNum is ALWAYS null...
}
}
}
Cases where Bill With Parent is true is like creating jobs(sub customers) for customers.
The "Resale Number" should be set in the custom fields or on the UI under tax info as shown.
Then only it is displayed and will not be null. It is not set to the parent's QBO Id.
You code is correct. I verified it. Just set the resaleNum to retrieve it.

I'm discovering ASP.NET Core MVC and I'm on my first project. Creating a cool web shop.
I'm currently wondering how to implement faulty information checking for example in the controller
Let's say there a product page, whenever users clicks on a product they will hit the function below.
As you can see the function accepts an int parameter named id, it will search in the database for the id that fits the productId, but I'm wondering how do I add error checking here? Like for example if the id does not exist in database return to page XX?
Also feel free to give suggestions to the function if you don't like it.
I've already tried to do a simple if and else statement
if(productvm == null)
{
then
return RedirectToPage("Index")
}
else
return View("ProductPage", productVm);
but it didn't seem to hit the if statement
[Route("ProductPage/{id}")]
public IActionResult ProductPage(int id)
{
Product product = _uow.Products.SelectProduct(id);
var stockViewModels = new List<StockViewModel>();
foreach (Stock stock in product.Stock)
{
stockViewModels.Add(new StockViewModel()
{
Id = stock.Id,
Description = stock.Description,
IsAvailable = stock.IsAvailable,
Quantity = stock.Quantity,
});
}
ProductViewModel productVm = new ProductViewModel
{
Name = product.Name,
Id = product.Id,
Description = product.Description,
Price = product.Price,
Stocks = stockViewModels,
};
if (productVm == null)
{
return RedirectToPage("Productslist");
}
else
{
return View("ProductPage", productVm);
}
}
I basically want an error handling the controller if the id is not found in the database then execute XX
The way how I test the function is to change the ID when browsing the page with an ID that does not exist in the database, then I get this error:
https://i.imgur.com/1amWx43.png
and I want to handle it
I think your problem is that you have new the productVm object before the if, so it will never be null, for your case, you should get check the product object and not the productVm, for example:
Product product = _uow.Products.SelectProduct(id);
if (product == null)
{
return RedirectToPage("Productslist");
}
else
{
return View("ProductPage", productVm);
}
So I'm trying to make a simple MVC system that will search through a database of books by author and/or title. I have a model called Book.cs with title and author properties. In my controller I made an ActionResult as follows:
public ActionResult Search(string theAuthor, string theTitle)
{
if (theAuthor == null && theTitle == null)
{
ViewBag.title = "Search for a book by author and/or title";
}
else
{
ViewBag.title = "Results:";
}
List<Book> allBooks = db.Books.ToList();
List<Book> booksFound = new List<Book>();
foreach (Book theBook in allBooks)
{
if (theAuthor != null && theTitle != null)
{
if (theBook.author == theAuthor && theBook.title == theTitle) booksFound.Add(theBook);
}else if (theAuthor == null)
{
if (theBook.title == theTitle) booksFound.Add(theBook);
}else if (theBook == null)
{
if (theBook.author == theAuthor) booksFound.Add(theBook);
}
}
return View("Search", booksFound);
}
Now, this returns a List of books, so I assume that in my view I have to use List<Book> model, and so I did (#model List<Book>). But the problem is how am I going to send data to the action result? I tried using
#Html.TextBoxFor (x => x.author)
But that gives the
'List<Book>' does not contain a definition for 'author' and no extension method 'author' accepting a first argument of type 'List<Book>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
error. Now that makes sense to me because I guess I can't access model class property if my model is a list. So am I doing something wrong or I should use another way to pass data?
Thanks
I didn't get your question when you said "But the problem is how am I going to send data to the action result?" but as much as I could comprehend from your question it seems you want to iterate the model which is a list of 'Book' objects inside MVC view. Controller has passed that list to your view as a model and then you want to create some UI elements based on the elements in the list. Here is how you can do it:
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(x=> x[i].author)
}
To answer your other concern, there is absolutely no error in the way you have passed the model (which is a list) from controller to view but you were trying to access the author property on the list itself when it is available on the list elements. Hope this helps!
I have a comments type structure where users are able to post replies to an Article. (One article can have many discussion replies). When a user adds a reply, I want the parent articles last updated date to also change so that the article is placed at the top of the list when viewed from the frontend indicating that it has had recent activity. To achieve this, the comment is added through a custom controller and then I have used the ContentService Published event to update the parent though am finding my event to be a bit of a bottle neck and taking up to six seconds to run
public void OnApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
{
ContentService.Published += ContentServicePublished;
}
private void ContentServicePublished(IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs<IContent> e)
{
foreach (var node in e.PublishedEntities)
{
//Handle updating the parent nodes last edited date to address ordering
if (node.ContentType.Alias == "DiscussionReply")
{
var contentService = new Umbraco.Core.Services.ContentService();
var parentNode = contentService.GetById(node.ParentId);
int intSiblings = parentNode.Children().Count() + 1;
if(parentNode.HasProperty("siblings"))
{
parentNode.SetValue("siblings", intSiblings);
contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(parentNode, 0, false);
}
}
}
}
Is there anything obvious with this code that may be causing the performance issue?
Many thanks,
You should be using the Services Singleton for accessing the various services including ContentService.
One way to do so is to access the Services on ApplicationContext.Current like so:
var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
However, your bottleneck is going to be in retrieving the parent node and it's properties which requires multiple calls to the database. On top of that, you're retrieving the parent's children here:
int intSiblings = parentNode.Children().Count() + 1;
The better solution is to use the PublishedContent cache which doesn't hit the database at all and provides significantly superior performance.
If you're using a SurfaceController use it's Umbraco property (and you also have access to Services as well):
// After you've published the comment node:
var commentNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(commentNodeId);
// We already know this is a DiscussionReply node, no need to check.
int intSiblings = commentNode.Parent.Children.Count() + 1;
if (commentNode.Parent.HasProperty("siblings"))
{
// It's only now that we really need to grab the parent node from the ContentService so we can update it.
var parentNode = Services.ContentService.GetById(commentNode.ParentId);
parentNode.SetValue("siblings", intSiblings);
contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(parentNode, 0, false);
}
If you're implementing a WebApi based on UmbracoApiController then the same Umbraco and Services properties are available to you there as well.
I'm using Umbraco 7.3.4 and here's my solution:
// Create a list of objects to be created or updated.
var newContentList = new List<MyCustomModel>() {
new MyCustomModel {Id: 1, Name: "Document 1", Attribute1: ...},
new MyCustomModel {Id: 2, Name: "Document 2", Attribute1: ...},
new MyCustomModel {Id: 3, Name: "Document 3", Attribute1: ...}
};
// Get old content from cache
var oldContentAsIPublishedContentList = (new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current)).TypedContent(ParentId).Descendants("YourContentType").ToList();
// Get only modified content items
var modifiedItemIds = from x in oldContentAsIPublishedContentList
from y in newContentList
where x.Id == y.Id
&& (x.Name != y.Name || x.Attribute1 != y.Attribute1)
select x.Id;
// Get modified items as an IContent list.
var oldContentAsIContentList = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetByIds(modifiedItemIds).ToList();
// Create final content list.
var finalContentList= new List<IContent>();
// Update or insert items
foreach(var item in newContentList) {
// For each new content item, find an old IContent by the ID
// If the old IContent is found and the values are modified, add it to the finalContentList
// Otherwise, create a new instance using the API.
IContent content = oldContentAsIContentList.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == item.Id) ?? ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.CreateContent(item.Name, ParentId, "YourContentType");
// Update content
content.Name = item.Name;
content.SetValue("Attribute1", item.Attribute1);
finalContentList.Add(content);
// The following code is required
content.ChangePublishedState(PublishedState.Published);
content.SortOrder = 1;
}
// if the finalContentList has some items, call the Sort method to commit and publish the changes
ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.Sort(finalContentList);
I've got:
my-app
community-list
On attached, my-app gets the user and loads the app.user. In the meantime, community-list is attached (even before app.user is loaded) and so I haven't been able to get the user's starred communities yet. Therefore, the solution I'm working on is as follows.
In community-list.attached():
app.changes.listen((List<ChangeRecord> records) {
if (app.user != null) {
getUserStarredCommunities();
}
});
Elsewhere in community-list is said metho:
// This is triggered by an app.changes.listen.
void getUserStarredCommunities() {
// Determine if this user has starred the community.
communities.forEach((community) {
var starredCommunityRef = new db.Firebase(firebaseLocation + '/users/' + app.user.username + '/communities/' + community['id']);
starredCommunityRef.onValue.listen((e) {
if (e.snapshot.val() == null) {
community['userStarred'] = false;
} else {
community['userStarred'] = true;
}
});
});
}
Note that communities is an observable list in community-list:
#observable List communities = toObservable([]);
Which is initially populated in community-list.attached():
getCommunities() {
var f = new db.Firebase(firebaseLocation + '/communities');
var communityRef = f.limit(20);
communityRef.onChildAdded.listen((e) {
var community = e.snapshot.val();
// If no updated date, use the created date.
if (community['updatedDate'] == null) {
community['updatedDate'] = DateTime.parse(community['createdDate']);
}
// snapshot.name is Firebase's ID, i.e. "the name of the Firebase location"
// So we'll add that to our local item list.
community['id'] = e.snapshot.name();
// Insert each new community into the list.
communities.add(community);
// Sort the list by the item's updatedDate, then reverse it.
communities.sort((m1, m2) => m1["updatedDate"].compareTo(m2["updatedDate"]));
communities = communities.reversed.toList();
});
}
In summary, I load the list of communities even before I have a user, but once I have a user I want to update each community (Map) in the list of communities with the userStarred = true/false, which I then use in my community-list template.
Alas, it doesn't seem like the List updates. How do I achieve this?
This whole app.changes.listen business is expensive. What's the proper practice in a case like this, where an element is loaded before I load objects (like app.user) that will modify it in some way.
1)
toList() creates a copy of the list. You need to apply toObservable again to get an observable list.
communities = toObservable(communities.reversed.toList());
This also assigns a new list to communities which is covered by #observable.
I think it should trigger anyway
2) You update your communities explicitly. It shouldn't be necessary to listen for changes. You can call a method containing
if (app.user != null) {
getUserStarredCommunities();
}
explicitly each time you change the list.
You also call Firebase for each community when a change in communities occurs. I don't know Firebase but it seems you send a request to a server each time which is of course expensive.
You should remember for what user+community combination you already made the call and use the remembered result instead.
With app.changes.listen you listen to any updated of any #observable field in your component. If you have other observable fields beside communities this method might be called too often.
If you are only interested in changes to communities you should put this code into a method like
communitiesChanged(oldVal, newVal) {
if (app.user != null) {
getUserStarredCommunities();
}
}
but the better option is to not listen to changes and another method name and call it explicitly as state above anyways if possible.
I have an action
[HttpPost]
public string Edit(Member member)
and Member has a collection of children entities ICollection<AgeBracket> AgeBrackets.
Currently I do retrieve all AgeBrackets associated with the member, mark everyone as deleted, then loop through new collection and create a new entry for each. Then I update my parent entity. It works, but there should be a better way to do it:
for example, if I would wrote SQL, I could delete all existing children with just one line
DELETE FROM AgeBrackets WHERE MemberId = #MemberId
In my situation it makes a select to retrieve existing items, then generate delete for each of them, then generate insert for each new child and then it generates update for parent.
Here is how my code looks now:
IList<AgeBracket> ageBrackets = db.AgeBrackets.Where<AgeBracket>(x => x.MemberId == member.MemberId).ToList();
foreach (AgeBracket ab in ageBrackets)
db.Entry(ab).State = EntityState.Deleted;
if (member.AgeBrackets != null)
foreach (AgeBracket ab in member.AgeBrackets)
{
ab.MemberId = member.MemberId;
db.AgeBrackets.Add(ab);
}
db.Entry(member).State = EntityState.Modified;
Initially I was trying to query existing children and compare each of them to new set, but it seems to be over-complicated.
What is the best way to update member and all it's children?
There's another way to do
var originalAgeBrackets = db.AgeBrackets.Where(x => x.MemberId == member.MemberId).ToArray();
var currentAgeBrackets = member.AgeBrackets;
foreach (var original in originalAgeBrackets) {
// check if the original age brackets were modified ou should be removed
var current = currentAgeBrackets.FirstOrDefault(c => c.AgeBracketId == original.AgeBracketId);
if(current != null) {
var entry = db.Entry(original);
entry.OriginalValues.SetValues(original);
entry.CurrentValues.SetValues(current);
} else {
db.Entry(original).State = EntityState.Deleted;
}
}
// add all age brackets not listed in originalAgeBrackets
foreach (var current in currentAgeBrackets.Where(c => !originalAgeBrackets.Select(o => o.AgeBracketId).Contains(c.AgeBracketId))) {
db.AgeBrackets.Add(current);
}
db.SaveChanges();
Unfortunately what you want to do haven't native support to EF Code First. What will help you would be EntityFramework.Extended. This will allow you to do something like:
db.AgeBrackets.Delete(a => a.MemberId == member.MemberId);
You should take care of change-tracks by yourself.
Hope it helps you.
