DdsDecDateFieldTagHelper class

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Defines an input element to capture Dates for fields defined as decimal values.

Namespace: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags Assembly: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags.dll

Inheritance: Object –> TagHelper –> FieldBase –> DdsFieldBase –> DdsDateFieldTagHelper

Remarks

Legacy Applications more commonly used Dates as numeric values (with a particular EditWord, more than the proper Date type).

During Migration patterns are observed to identify such dates and convert them to DdsDecDateField tag Helper to make the Calendar available on the Page (as if the proper Date type was used).

This alone provides automated Modernization.

<div Row="12" RowSpan="@SFLC_SubfilePage">
    @for (int rrn=0; rrn < Model.SFLC.SFL1.Count; rrn++)
    {
        int row = 12 + rrn;
        <DdsSubfileRecord RecordNumber="rrn" For="SFLC.SFL1">

            <DdsDecDateField Col="41+1" For="SFLC.SFL1[rrn].SFDELDATE" DateFormat="ISO" DateSeparator="-" SuppressLeadingZeroes=true Color="Green : !61 , DarkBlue : 61" />

        </DdsSubfileRecord>
    }
</div>

Note how the DateFormat and DateSeparatorare defined in the Presentation (markup) and not in the model (as it is done for DdsDateField)

public class SFL1_Model : SubfileRecordModel
{
    .
    .
    .
    [Dec(8, 0)]
    public decimal SFDELDATE { get; private set; }
    .
    .
    .
}

The Model defines a decimal type (which knows nothing about DateFormat or DateSeparators). The Application Logic will process the numeric value as usual.
