Example: Creating a Calculated Value to Join Objects

The following example shows you how to create a value that will be used to search for an MVEntry object to join with a CSEntry object. In this example, the objects in the metaverse have a displayName attribute that is made up of the first and last name. The names are separate attributes in the connector space.

    Public Sub MapAttributesForJoin(ByVal FlowRuleName As String, _
                                     ByVal csentry As CSEntry, _
                                     ByRef values As ValueCollection) _
                                     Implements IMASynchronization.MapAttributesForJoin
    
       Select Case FlowRuleName
          Case "displayName"
    
             ' Create the final value from two other values and add the final
             ' value to the values collection used to search the metaverse.
             Dim displayName As String
             displayName = csentry("givenName").Value + " " + csentry("sn").Value
             values.Add(displayName)
    
          Case Else
             Throw New EntryPointNotImplementedException
    
       End Select
    End Sub

    void IMASynchronization.MapAttributesForJoin (string FlowRuleName, 
                                            CSEntry csentry, ref ValueCollection values)
    {
       switch(FlowRuleName)
       {
          case "displayName":
          
             // Create the final value from two other values and add the final
             // value to the values collection used to search the metaverse
             string displayName = csentry["givenName"].Value + " " + csentry["sn"].Value;
             values.Add(displayName);
             break;    
          
          default:
             throw new EntryPointNotImplementedException();
    
       }
    }
