PFApplicationContext Class

Represents a context of an application. Application contexts are data partitioning objects created by administrators at runtime. As an example, an application context could represent a physical location, a plant, a country, or any other entity, depending on your application needs. Using application contexts, these entities could use the same applications while keeping their functional data private.

Properties

	Name	Description
	BeforeSaveValues	Gets the previous values of modified fields before the latest Save. Note: this feature is NOT persisted in the database and therefore only concerns this instance. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	CanDelete	Checks if the current permission context allows current user to delete this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	CanRead	Checks if the current permission context allows current user to access this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	CanUpdate	Checks if the current permission context allows current user to update this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Created	Indicates if this object has been created and is still in database (positive Id). (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	CreatedAt	Gets the date of creation of this object in the database. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	CreatedBy	Gets the user who created this object in the database. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Data	Gets the data collection of this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	DateObjectCreation	Gets the date of the creation of this object in memory. (Inherited from PFManagedObject.)
	Deleted	True if this object is flagged as deleted. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	DeletedAt	Date of the suppression of this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	DeletedBy	The user who deleted this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Description	Gets or sets the description.
	EnableVersionMergeToResolveSaveConflicts	Gets a value indicating whether versions can be merged to resolve save conflicts. If an object is saved with an older version than the last persisted (in database), the system will try to merge the versions values (if no conflicts between values) and will then save the merged item to database. Note : this setting is NOT persisted and will affect this object instance only. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Exists	Indicates if this object has been created, still exists in database and is not flagged for suppression. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Groups	Gets the role groups corresponding to this application context.
	Guid	Gets the GUID identifying this object. Must be used if Id is no more viable, example if content were merged. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	HasPendingModifications	Checks if there is pending changes. Will check if the values are different from the currently persisted values. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	HasPendingPermissionsModifications	Checks if there is pending modifications in permissions. Will compute permissions (RUD) and check if there is differences with current persisted permissions. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Id	Gets the id identifying this object. Must be used to find or identify an object because faster than Guid. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	KeepBeforeSaveValues	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the Save should keep a collection of the modified fields previous values. Note: this feature is NOT persisted in the database and therefore only concerns this instance. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Logger	Gets the logger, used to log any useful warning, error or information in the database. (Inherited from PFManagedObject.)
	LogIdentification	Gets a technical text representing this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name.
	ParentApplication	Gets the parent application.
	PermissionContext	Gets an object calculating permissions on demand.
	Permissions	Gets the permission set (RUD permissions) of this item. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	PossibleGroups	Gets the possible groups. These can be selected in roles of this application context. Leave the list empty to disable the restriction.
	ReferenceGroupId	Gets or sets the reference group id. Optional. A reference group is an organizational (site scope) group used as reference on a context. Reference groups are used to associate multiple application contexts through different applications.
	Site	Gets the root of the persisted objects tree. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	ThemeId	Gets or sets the theme id, referencing the theme commonly used on the application context. See GetActiveTheme method for more information.
	UpdatedAt	Gets the date of the last update of this object. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	UpdatedBy	Gets the user who last updated this object in the database. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	VersionNumber	Gets the version number of this object in database. Incremented after each save. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Delete	Flags this object as deleted. If it fails, throws an error. If the object could not be deleted because it does not yet exist in database, returns false. If successful, returns true. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	EnsureGroups	Ensure that groups in this context are the image of application model roles.
	GetActiveTheme	Gets the theme currently active on the application context. Note: if there is no theme set on the context, the theme of the parent application is returned.
	RunInTransactionArea	Runs a code with a transaction on object connection. If there is no current transaction and if the code succeed, transaction is committed. If an exception is thrown, transaction is rollback. (Inherited from PFBaseObject.)
	Save	Applies the data of this object in the database. This will also save parent application. (Overrides PFBaseObjectSave.)
	SaveSettings	Saves the context theme.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
