You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to develop an application.
You use the Entity Framework Designer to create the following Entity Data Model.
You write a method named ValidatePostalCode to validate the postal code for the application.
You need to ensure that the ValidatePostalCode method is called before the PostalCode property set
method is completed and before the underlying value has changed. Which code segment should you
place in the entity’s partial class?
A.
partial void OnPostalCodeChanged(string value)
{
PostalCode – GetValidValue<string>
(value, “ValidatePostalCode”, false, true);
}
B.
public string ValidatedPostalCode
{
set ( ValidatePostalCode(value); _PostalCode = value;
}
get
{
return _PostalCode;
}
C.
partial void OnPostalCodeChanging(string value)
{
ValidatePostalCode(value);
}
D.
public string ValidatedPostalCode
{
set
{
_PostalCode = StructuralObject.SetValidValue (“ValidatePostalCode”, false);
}
get
{
return _PostalCode;
}}
Explanation:
Another area of extensibility is with the partial methods created on each entity type. There is a pair
of partial methods called OnXxxChanging and OnXxxChanged for each property, in which Xxx is the
name of the property. The OnXxxChanging method executes before the property has changed, and
the OnXxxChanged method executes after the property has changed. To implement any of the
partial methods, create a partial class and add the appropriate partial method with implementation
code.
