Initializes a new instance of the FormShowAction class

Use this constructor to provide the entity to edit and the form type in code.

Returns a CompileTimeCheckBindingMember that will be used to ensure the data item at the end of 'dataMember' is of type 'expectedType' at compile time.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Get an instance of the entity or collection that will actually be shown on the form.

Get the entity data that is used as the source to the entity/collection that will be shown on the form. This entity is branched before it is shown on the form, and GetEntityToEdit is used with the branched data to get the actual entity/collection that is shown on the form.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Reports an error message to the user. Override to show a custom error dialog or message to the user.

Show an informational, warning or error message to the user.

Switch the mouse cursor to a wait cursor while saving.

Tries to active a non-modal form that is already showing the entity data for 'entityToEdit'.

Get an instance of the helper class that is maintains the bound data.

Get the data source type of the container control. This is used by NTier intellisense when the developer is choosing a binding path.

Get the actions that should be performed when changes on the form are 'committed' via a FormCommitAction. For example, this property may be set to a FormSaveAction or FormDeleteAndSaveAction.

Get the current data item specified by:
HostingControl (or data bound parent).DataSource - the top level data source.
HostingControl (or data bound parent).DataMember - the top level data member.
DataMember - the relative data member.
NOTE: Null will be returned in place of a deleted entity.

Get or set whether to disable designer validation of types and binding members.

Get or set the binding path from the data source on the hosting control that will be used to data bind the form.

Get or set the type of the data source that the form expects to bind to.

Get or set the type of the form, or form factory that is used to edit the data.

Get or set the control that hosts the action. Usually this would be a button or menu item.

Get or set whether the form data is loaded from the underlying data store directly if persistent. If false, the IEntitySet is cloned instead which means the database won't need to be queried.

Get or set whether the form should be displayed modally.

Get or set whether the form should display the entity data in read only mode.

Get or set whether the user will be required to save the current form before the new form is shown.

Get or set whether to revert EntitySet.HasChanges() to false before showing the form. Set this to false if you want the Save button to be enabled on the shown form as soon as it is shown.

Raised before the form is shown to the user.

Raised when the form is to be shown. When this event is hooked, the event handler is responsible for showing the form.

Raised when get the entity to edit on the form, before it has been branched / cloned. Throw an exception in the event to cancel showing the form and instead show a message to the user.
