Session.GetObjectByKeyAsync<ClassType>(Object, CancellationToken) Method

Asynchronously returns a persistent object that has the specified key property value. The persistent object’s type is set by the generic type parameter.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public Task<ClassType> GetObjectByKeyAsync<ClassType>(
    object id,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken)
)

VB.NET

Public Function GetObjectByKeyAsync(Of ClassType)(
    id As Object,
    cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing
) As Task(Of ClassType)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	Object	An object that represents the persistent object’s key property value.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
cancellationToken	CancellationToken	null	A CancellationToken object that delivers a cancellation notice to the running operation.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
ClassType	A type of objects to search for.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<ClassType>	A Task that returns a persistent object. This persistent object has the specified key property value and a type specified by the generic type parameter. The task returns null if no objects are found.

Remarks

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

C#

using System.Threading;
using DevExpress.Xpo;
// ...
CancellationTokenSource source = new CancellationTokenSource();
CancellationToken cancellationToken = source.Token;
Person personToDelete = await session.GetObjectByKeyAsync<Person>(152, cancellationToken);
session.Delete(personToDelete);

VB.NET

Imports System.Threading
Imports DevExpress.Xpo
' ...
Private source As New CancellationTokenSource()
Private cancellationToken As CancellationToken = source.Token
Private personToDelete As Person = Await session.GetObjectByKeyAsync(Of Person)(152, cancellationToken)
session.Delete(personToDelete)

The GetObjectByKeyAsync<ClassType> method searches the memory for the object that has the key property value. If such an object is found, it is not reloaded. To get the up-to-date object from the storage, use the overloaded Session.GetObjectByKeyAsync method with the alwaysGetFromDataStore parameter set to true.

Note

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