Example: Creating a Calculated Value to Join Objects [MIIS]

The following example shows you how to create a value that will be used to search for an MVEntry object to join with a CSEntry object. In this example, the objects in the metaverse have a displayName attribute that is made up of the first and last name. The names are separate attributes in the connector space.

[Visual Basic .NET]

Public Sub MapAttributesForJoin(ByVal FlowRuleName As String, _
								 ByVal csentry As CSEntry, _
								 ByRef values As ValueCollection) _
								 Implements IMASynchronization.MapAttributesForJoin

   Select Case FlowRuleName
	Case "displayName"

		 ' Create the final value from two other values and add the final
		 ' value to the values collection used to search the metaverse.
		 Dim displayName As String
		 displayName = csentry("givenName").Value + " " + csentry("sn").Value
		 values.Add(displayName)

	Case Else
		 Throw New EntryPointNotImplementedException

   End Select
End Sub

[C#]

void IMASynchronization.MapAttributesForJoin (string FlowRuleName, 
										CSEntry csentry, ref ValueCollection values)
{
   switch(FlowRuleName)
   {
	case "displayName":

		 // Create the final value from two other values and add the final
		 // value to the values collection used to search the metaverse
		 string displayName = csentry["givenName"].Value + " " + csentry["sn"].Value;
		 values.Add(displayName);
		 break; 

	default:
		 throw new EntryPointNotImplementedException();

   }
}
