Change Object Auditing Mode

• Jun 25, 2021

The Audit Trail System supports several object auditing modes.

Mode	Description
Full	All object changes are fully audited. This mode is the default.
Lightweight	Only object creation, deletion and modification are audited. This mode does not audit names and values of changed properties.
CreationOnly	Only object creation is audited. Intended for data import purposes.

To change the current object auditing mode, set the AuditTrailService.Instance.ObjectAuditingMode property to one of the ObjectAuditingMode enumeration values. The following code demonstrates how this can be implemented.

XAF Windows Forms Application - Program.cs (Program.vb) file:

C#

static void Main() {
    MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication application = new MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication();
    // ...
    AuditTrailService.Instance.ObjectAuditingMode = ObjectAuditingMode.Lightweight;
    application.Setup();
    application.Start();
    //...
}

VB.NET

Shared Sub Main()
    Dim _application As MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication = New MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication()
    '...
    AuditTrailService.Instance.ObjectAuditingMode = ObjectAuditingMode.Lightweight
    _application.Setup()
    _application.Start()
    '...
End Sub

XAF ASP.NET Web Forms Application - Global.asax.cs (Global.asax.vb) file:

C#

protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    WebApplication.SetInstance(Session, new MySolutionWebApplication());
    AuditTrailService.Instance.ObjectAuditingMode = ObjectAuditingMode.Lightweight;
    //...
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup();
    WebApplication.Instance.Start();
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    WebApplication.SetInstance(Session, New MainDemoWebApplication())
    AuditTrailService.Instance.ObjectAuditingMode = ObjectAuditingMode.Lightweight
    '...
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup()
    WebApplication.Instance.Start()
End Sub
