returning single pieces of data in an oda [message #904885] Wed, 29 August 2012 10:21 Go to next message

Hi,

Sorry for 2 posts in 2 days, but I'm a bit stuck. I have created an oda that links to my webservice. It is returning a list of documents with data (text, date etc) I am putting this data into columns. So far so good. What is also returned is a count of how many documents have been returned overall.

I would like to be able to capture this number and perhaps tie it to a parameter, but so far I can't figure out how to do this(all I can think of at them moment is making a column that just repeats this value for every row).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

James

Does the number stay the same for the entire dataset? If so, you could
always setup an outputParameter for the oda dataset and set the value there.

Hi,

It does stay the same, I thought about setting up an output parameter, but couldn't figure out where in the oda would be set? The only place parameters seem to be called is in the UI customDataSetWizardPage, which isn't ideal.

Thanks for your help,

James

Output parameters do show up in the data set editor, but that does not
mean that they can be set. When they show up users can reference them
in a bound table by calling outputParams["myoutputparameter"]. If you
want to implement one you need to implement the getParameterMetaData()
method in the class that implements the IQuery. Also return true in
your class that implements IDataSetMetaData for the the
supportsOutParameters method.

BTW if you think this will be to difficult for your users to find, I
would just add it as a column.
