Provides functionality to commit or rollback changes to an object that is used as a data source.
Public Interface IEditableObject
Dim instance As IEditableObject
public interface IEditableObject
public interface class IEditableObject
This interface is typically used to capture the BeginEdit, EndEdit, and CancelEdit semantics of a DataRowView.
The following sample provides a simple implementation of the IEditableObject interface. The Customer class stores customer information and can be used as a collection for a customer database. This sample assumes that you have used the CustomerList class that can be found in sample in the IBindingList class.
Public Class Customer Implements IEditableObject Structure CustomerData Friend id As String Friend firstName As String Friend lastName As String End Structure Public parent As CustomersList Private custData As CustomerData Private backupData As CustomerData Private inTxn As Boolean = False ' Implements IEditableObject Sub BeginEdit() Implements IEditableObject.BeginEdit Console.WriteLine("Start BeginEdit") If Not inTxn Then Me.backupData = custData inTxn = True Console.WriteLine(("BeginEdit - " + Me.backupData.lastName)) End If Console.WriteLine("End BeginEdit") End Sub Sub CancelEdit() Implements IEditableObject.CancelEdit Console.WriteLine("Start CancelEdit") If inTxn Then Me.custData = backupData inTxn = False Console.WriteLine(("CancelEdit - " + Me.custData.lastName)) End If Console.WriteLine("End CancelEdit") End Sub Sub EndEdit() Implements IEditableObject.EndEdit Console.WriteLine(("Start EndEdit" + Me.custData.id + Me.custData.lastName)) If inTxn Then backupData = New CustomerData() inTxn = False Console.WriteLine(("Done EndEdit - " + Me.custData.id + Me.custData.lastName)) End If Console.WriteLine("End EndEdit") End Sub Public Sub New(ByVal ID As String) Me.custData = New CustomerData() Me.custData.id = ID Me.custData.firstName = "" Me.custData.lastName = "" End Sub Public ReadOnly Property ID() As String Get Return Me.custData.id End Get End Property Public Property FirstName() As String Get Return Me.custData.firstName End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) Me.custData.firstName = Value Me.OnCustomerChanged() End Set End Property Public Property LastName() As String Get Return Me.custData.lastName End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) Me.custData.lastName = Value Me.OnCustomerChanged() End Set End Property Friend Property Parents() As CustomersList Get Return Parent End Get Set(ByVal Value As CustomersList) parent = Value End Set End Property Private Sub OnCustomerChanged() If Not inTxn And (Parent IsNot Nothing) Then Parent.CustomerChanged(Me) End If End Sub Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Dim sb As New StringWriter() sb.Write(Me.FirstName) sb.Write(" ") sb.Write(Me.LastName) Return sb.ToString() End Function End Class

The backup object would always equal the edited object. Need to use cloning.
When editing the Cusromer using BeginEdit / EndEdit, when does the parent get notified of property changes? Note that setting a property calls OnCustomerChanged, but this does nothing if the object is being edited (inTxn is True).
Should the EndEdit also fire off Me.OnCustomerChanged?
Moreover, what if the Customer object wanted to raise explicit PropertyChanged events? Would these also have to raised individually by EndEdit, like
If this.custData.firstName <> this.backupData.firstName
me.NotifyPropertyChanged("FirstName")
endif
and so on for each property??
