SelectQuery class

Level: advanced

The Namespace Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.

The SelectQuery data contract is used for reading section records. The query data is transferred to DataService via HTTP, with the help of POST by the URL.

// URL format of the POST query to read data from DataService.
http(s)://[Creatio application address]/[Configuration number]/dataservice/[Data fromat]/reply/SelectQuery

The SelectQuery data contract has a complex hierarchical structure with a number of nesting levels. In the Creatio server core, it is represented by a SelectQuery class of the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract namespace of the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.dll library of classes. The hierarchical data structure of the SelectQuery data contract can be conveniently viewed in JSON format:

IsPageable bool

Indicates whether the data is selected page-by-page.

IsDistinct bool

Indicates whether duplicates must be eliminated in the resulting data set.

RowCount int

Number of selected strings. By default, the value is -1, i.e. all strings are selected.

ConditionalValues ColumnValues

Conditions of creating a page-by-page query. The ColumnValues type is defined in the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract namespace.

IsHierarchical bool

Indicates whether the data is selected hierarchically.

HierarchicalMaxDepth int

SelectQueryColumns class

The Namespace Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.

The SelectQueryColumns class has a single Items property, defined as a collection of keys and values Dictionary<string, SelectQueryColumn>. The key is the string with the name of the added column. The value is an instance of the SelectQueryColumn class, defined in the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract namespace. The properties of the SelectQueryColumn are available in the table.

Properties

OrderDirection OrderDirection

Sorting order. Specified with a value from the [OrderDirection](https://academy.creatio.com/api/netcoreapi/8.0.0/api/index.html) enumeration of the Terrasoft.Common name space defined in the [Terrasoft.Common](https://academy.creatio.com/api/netcoreapi/8.0.0/api/index.html) class library.

OrderPosition int

Sets position number in the collection of the query columns, by which the sorting is done.

Caption string

Column title.

Expression ColumnExpression

Property that defines expression of the type of selected column.

ColumnExpression class

The Namespace Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.

The ColumnExpression class defines expression that sets the type of the schema column. The class is defined in the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract namespace of the Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel library. The properties of an instance of this class are filled in depending on the ExpressionType property, which sets the expression type. The full list of the ColumnExpression class properties is available in table.

Properties
