Remarks

Below is an example of using the GetObjectByKeyAsync method. Here, the session is the Session instance.

C#

using System.Threading;
using DevExpress.Xpo;
using DevExpress.Xpo.Metadata;
// ...
XPClassInfo personClassInfo = session.GetClassInfo(typeof(Person));
CancellationTokenSource source = new CancellationTokenSource();
CancellationToken cancellationToken = source.Token;
Person personToDelete = (Person)await session.GetObjectByKeyAsync(personClassInfo, 152, cancellationToken);
session.Delete(personToDelete);

VB.NET

Imports System.Threading
Imports DevExpress.Xpo
Imports DevExpress.Xpo.Metadata
' ...
Private personClassInfo As XPClassInfo = session.GetClassInfo(GetType(Person))
Private source As New CancellationTokenSource()
Private cancellationToken As CancellationToken = source.Token
Dim personToDelete As Person = _
    CType(Await session.GetObjectByKeyAsync(personClassInfo, 152, cancellationToken), Person)
session.Delete(personToDelete)

The GetObjectByKeyAsync method searches in memory for the object with the specified key property value. If such an object is found, it is not reloaded. To get the up-to-date object from the data store, use the overloaded Session.GetObjectByKeyAsync method with the alwaysGetFromDataStore parameter set to true.

Note

The GetObjectByKeyAsync method does not find objects until they are saved to a data store.
