Questions on FileStream (Q182572)

Hello,

I am afraid we do not have a ready VB.NET example for the latest version. It is also a bad idea or a difficult task to convert a 8 year old XAF project to the latest version, because of many changes in the API and project structure.
I suggest you consider the following plan instead:

1. Create a new XAF v15.X solution from scratch.
2. Copy only significant or important files from the FileStreamSupport.Module project: BaseObject.cs, FileData.cs, and TestDomainObject.cs.
3. Use free online C# to VB.NET converters (e.g., this one) or other specialized tools to convert the source in these files.
   Let me know once you have had an opportunity to implement and test this functionality.

Hi Dennis,
since the Oliver suggestion was 8 years old , and now the BaseObject has the Oid property of GUID type, I'm asking if instead of rewrite the BaseObject and FileData class if it possible to add the attribute using the CustomizeTypesInfo() method of the Module.cs writing something like:

C#
public override void CustomizeTypesInfo(DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC.ITypesInfo typesInfo) {  
            base.CustomizeTypesInfo(typesInfo);  
            XPDictionary xpDictionary = DevExpress.ExpressApp.Xpo.XpoTypesInfoHelper.GetXpoTypeInfoSource().XPDictionary;  
            xpDictionary.GetClassInfo(typeof(FileData)).FindMember("Content").AddAttribute(new DbTypeAttribute("VARBINARY(MAX) FILESTREAM"));  
            xpDictionary.GetClassInfo(typeof(BaseObject)).FindMember("Oid").AddAttribute(new DbTypeAttribute("uniqueidentifier UNIQUE"));  
            XafTypesInfo.Instance.RefreshInfo(typeof(FileData));  
            XafTypesInfo.Instance.RefreshInfo(typeof(BaseObject));  
}  

What do you think about that?
Many thanks.
