Given there are about seven custom fields that have to be read how could you set them up as tasks and run them in parallel with something like Task.WhenAll?

Something like this:

Code: Select all

string field1;
string field2;
string field3;

List<System.Threading.Tasks.Task> tasks = new List<System.Threading.Tasks.Task>();
System.Threading.Tasks.Task task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { field1 = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValueCollection.ReadCustomFieldValue(Plugin.Manager, "IN_CustomSettingValues", "InventoryID", "SettingID", "SettingID","IN_CustomSetting", inventoryID, "MyCustomField1" ); });      
tasks.Add(task);

task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { field2 = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValueCollection.ReadCustomFieldValue(Plugin.Manager, "IN_CustomSettingValues", "InventoryID", "SettingID", "SettingID","IN_CustomSetting", inventoryID, "MyCustomField2" ); });      
tasks.Add(task);

task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { field3 = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValueCollection.ReadCustomFieldValue(Plugin.Manager, "IN_CustomSettingValues", "InventoryID", "SettingID", "SettingID","IN_CustomSetting", inventoryID, "MyCustomField3" ); });      
tasks.Add(task);

System.Threading.Tasks.Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray());

Thanks Mike.

Next issue on the same plugin.
I am using the same instantiated inventory object to read the inventory.Groups collection. This isn't available in the item entity so it seems that the full inventory object serves 2 purposes in this plugin. (reading the custom fields and also reading the inventory groups).

In this case, I'll just knock up a quick SELECT statement and read the IN_GroupLink table. That'll do the trick for me.

If you only need to read them, you can use the technique I describe in https://forums.jiwa.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1239 to create an easy-to-query view over your custom data. You could have a single, simple SQL query that gets them all, rather than firing of an individual query for each one.

Actually Danny is you want to get the group links in quicker way the following ORM Lite code will do it

Code: Select all

private List<JiwaServiceModel.Tables.IN_GroupLink> GetGroupLinks( JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Manager manager)
{
            
       var dbFactory = new OrmLiteConnectionFactory(manager.Database.ConnectionString, ServiceStack.OrmLite.SqlServer2012Dialect.Provider);
      using (var db = dbFactory.Open())
      {
         return db.Select<JiwaServiceModel.Tables.IN_GroupLink> ();
                           
      }
}

That's how I'd be inclined to do it also - just a single query returning each custom field value contents as a column.

As an FYI for anyone following this thread, the users have reported that line entry is much better.

All I did was stop the full inventory instantiating, and just used

Code: Select all

string myCustomField = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValueCollection.ReadCustomFieldValue(salesOrder.Manager,"IN_CustomSettingValues","InventoryID","SettingID", "SettingID","IN_CustomSetting",item.InventoryID, "MyCustomField" );

Furthermore with this newfound knowledge, I've replaced similar code in a few other plugins.
Big thanks to Scott & Mike.
