In order to make EPiServer Community aware of this new type so instances of the type can be returned, we need to
create an EntityProvider.This is done by creating a new class, implementing IEntityProvider in the StarSuite.Core.Data
namespace.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using StarSuite.Core.Data;
using StarCommunity.Modules.Blog;
using StarCommunity.Modules.ImageGallery;
namespace MyCommunity
{
//Implement the IEntityProvider interface
public class MyEntryCommentEntityProvider :
StarSuite.Core.Data.IEntityProvider
{
private static MyEntryCommentEntityProvider m_myEntryCommentEntityProvider =
null;
();
//Singleton
public static StarSuite.Core.Data.IEntityProvider GetProviderInstance()
{
if (m_myEntryCommentEntityProvider == null)
m_myEntryCommentEntityProvider = new MyEntryCommentEntityProvider
}
return m_myEntryCommentEntityProvider;
// Override the GetEntityInstance by reader method
public object GetEntityInstance(Type type, DbDataReader reader)
{
//If the specified type is EntryComment or MyEntryComment, call
//MyEntryComment constructor that will just pass the reader
argument to
//its base class
if (type == typeof(EntryComment) || type == typeOf(MyEntryComment)
return new MeEntryComment(reader);
}
// Override the GetEntityInstance by id method
public object GetEntityInstance(Type type, int id)
{
//If the specified type is EntryComment or MyEntryComment, just get
//EntryComment by id via BlogHandler
if (type == typeof(EntryComment) || type == typeOf(MyEntryComment)
return BlogHandler.GetEntryComment(id);
}
}
}
