### Implement ProfileWindow for user settings

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707361/ee942451.md

A ChildWindow implementation that initializes a ComboBox with user preferences and saves updates to the WebContext.

```vbnet
Partial Public Class ProfileWindow
    Inherits ChildWindow

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        Dim userDefaultRows = WebContext.Current.User.DefaultRows.ToString()
        For Each cbi As ComboBoxItem In defaultRows.Items

                defaultRows.SelectedItem = cbi
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

### Retrieve and Filter Customers via DomainContext

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707349/ee707370.md

Demonstrates filtering and sorting data using LINQ queries on a domain context, then loading the results into a DataGrid.

```vbnet
Partial Public Class MainPage
    Inherits UserControl

    Private _customerContext As New CustomerDomainContext

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()

        Dim query As EntityQuery(Of Customer)

        query = _
            From c In Me._customerContext.GetCustomersQuery() _
            Where c.Phone.StartsWith("583") _
            Order By c.LastName

        Dim loadOp = Me._customerContext.Load(query)
        CustomerGrid.ItemsSource = loadOp.Entities
    End Sub

End Class
```

```csharp
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
    private CustomerDomainContext _customerContext = new CustomerDomainContext();

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        EntityQuery<Customer> query = 
            from c in _customerContext.GetCustomersQuery()

```vbnet
<EnableClientAccess()>  _
Public Class OrderDomainService
    Inherits LinqToEntitiesDomainService(Of AdventureWorksLT_DataEntities)

    Public Function GetSalesOrders() As IQueryable(Of SalesOrderHeader)
        Return Me.ObjectContext.SalesOrderHeaders.Include("SalesOrderDetails")
    End Function

    Public Sub UpdateSalesOrder(ByVal currentSalesOrderHeader As SalesOrderHeader)
        Dim originalOrder As SalesOrderHeader = Me.ChangeSet.GetOriginal(currentSalesOrderHeader)

        If (currentSalesOrderHeader.EntityState = EntityState.Detached) Then
            If (IsNothing(originalOrder)) Then
                Me.ObjectContext.Attach(currentSalesOrderHeader)
            Else
                Me.ObjectContext.AttachAsModified(currentSalesOrderHeader, Me.ChangeSet.GetOriginal(currentSalesOrderHeader))
            End If
        End If

        For Each detail As SalesOrderDetail In Me.ChangeSet.GetAssociatedChanges(currentSalesOrderHeader, Function(o) o.SalesOrderDetails)
            Dim op As ChangeOperation = Me.ChangeSet.GetChangeOperation(detail)

            Select Case op
                Case ChangeOperation.Insert
                    If ((detail.EntityState = EntityState.Added) _
                    = False) Then
                        If ((detail.EntityState = EntityState.Detached) _
                                    = False) Then
                            Me.ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(detail, EntityState.Added)
                        Else
                            Me.ObjectContext.AddToSalesOrderDetails(detail)
                        End If

                    Me.ObjectContext.DeleteObject(detail)
            End Select
        Next
    End Sub

    Public Sub DeleteSalesOrder(ByVal salesOrderHeader As SalesOrderHeader)
        If (salesOrderHeader.EntityState = EntityState.Detached) Then
            Me.ObjectContext.Attach(salesOrderHeader)
        End If

        Select Case salesOrderHeader.Status
            Case 1 ' in process
                Me.ObjectContext.DeleteObject(salesOrderHeader)
            Case 2, 3, 4 ' approved, backordered, rejected
                salesOrderHeader.Status = 6
            Case 5 ' shipped
                Throw New ValidationException("The order has been shipped and cannot be deleted.")
        End Select

    End Sub

### Invoke Operation Execution and Completion Handling

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707349/ee707370.md

Demonstrates calling an invoke operation and processing the result or errors within a completion callback.

```vbnet
Dim invokeOp As InvokeOperation(Of Integer)
invokeOp = customerContext.GetLocalTemperature(selectedPostalCode, AddressOf OnInvokeCompleted, Nothing)

Private Sub OnInvokeCompleted(ByVal invOp As InvokeOperation(Of Integer))
  If (invOp.HasError) Then
    MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Method Failed: {0}", invOp.Error.Message))
    invOp.MarkErrorAsHandled()
  Else
    result = invOp.Value
  End If
End Sub
```

```csharp
InvokeOperation<int> invokeOp = customerContext.GetLocalTemperature(selectedPostalCode, OnInvokeCompleted, null);

private void OnInvokeCompleted(InvokeOperation<int> invOp)
{
  if (invOp.HasError)
  {
    MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Method Failed: {0}", invOp.Error.Message));
    invOp.MarkErrorAsHandled();
  }
  else
  {
    result = invOp.Value;
  }
}
```

### Define a basic query method in DomainService

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707336/gg602754.md

Implement a method returning an IEnumerable collection to expose data to the client.

```csharp
        public IEnumerable<Sovereign> GetSovereigns()
        { 
            Sovereign sovereign = new Sovereign();
            return sovereign.FetchSovereigns();
        }
```

--------------------------------

### Implement AuthenticationDomainService and Custom User Class

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707361/ee942451.md

Define the AuthenticationDomainService and extend the User class to include custom profile properties.

```vb
<EnableClientAccess()> _
Public Class AuthenticationDomainService
    Inherits AuthenticationBase(Of User)

End Class

Public Class User
    Inherits UserBase

    Public Property DefaultRows As Integer

End Class
```

```csharp
[EnableClientAccess]
public class AuthenticationDomainService : AuthenticationBase<User>
{
}

public class User : UserBase
{
    public int DefaultRows { get; set; }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize Domain Context Variables

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707348/ee707356/ff422034.md

Declare instances of the required domain contexts for data operations.

```vb
Private salesContext As New SalesDomainContext()
Private customerContext As New CustomerDomainContext()
```

```csharp
private SalesDomainContext salesContext = new SalesDomainContext();
private CustomerDomainContext customerContext = new CustomerDomainContext();
```

--------------------------------

### Accessing and Saving User Profile Properties

Source: https://openriaservices.gitbook.io/openriaservices/ee707361.md

Demonstrates updating a user property and persisting the change using the authentication service.

```vbnet
Private Sub OKButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles OKButton.Click
    Dim newSelection = Integer.Parse(defaultRows.SelectionBoxItem.ToString())
    If (newSelection <> WebContext.Current.User.DefaultRows) Then
        WebContext.Current.User.DefaultRows = newSelection
        WebContext.Current.Authentication.SaveUser(True)
    End If
    Me.DialogResult = True
End Sub
```

```csharp
private void OKButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    int newSelection = int.Parse(defaultRows.SelectionBoxItem.ToString());
    if (newSelection != WebContext.Current.User.DefaultRows)
    {
        WebContext.Current.User.DefaultRows = newSelection;
        WebContext.Current.Authentication.SaveUser(true);
    }
    this.DialogResult = true;
}
```
