The following example logs an activity.

 

private bool CreateActivity()

{

  // Get dataset of contacts

  string where = "ContactLastName LIKE N'My New Contact%'";

  InfoDataSet<ContactInfo> contacts = ContactInfoProvider.GetContacts(where, null, 1, null);

 

  if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(contacts))

   {

      // Get the contact from dataset

      ContactInfo contact = contacts.First<ContactInfo>();

 

      // Get an activity type

      ActivityTypeInfo activityType = ActivityTypeInfoProvider.GetActivityTypes(null, null, 1, null).First<ActivityTypeInfo>();

 

      // Create new activity object

      ActivityInfo newActivity = new ActivityInfo()

           {

               ActivityType = activityType.ActivityTypeName,

               ActivityTitle = "My new activity",

               ActivitySiteID = CMSContext.CurrentSiteID,

               ActivityOriginalContactID = contact.ContactID,

               ActivityActiveContactID = contact.ContactID

           };

 

      // Save the activity

      ActivityInfoProvider.SetActivityInfo(newActivity);

 

      return true;

   }

 

  return false;

}

 

The following example gets and updates a the activity logged by the example above.

 

private bool GetAndUpdateActivity()

{

  // Get dataset of contacts

  string where = "ContactLastName LIKE N'My New Contact%'";

  InfoDataSet<ContactInfo> contacts = ContactInfoProvider.GetContacts(where, null, 1, null);

 

  if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(contacts))

   {

      // Get the contact from dataset

      ContactInfo contact = contacts.First<ContactInfo>();

 

      // Get all activities associated with user

       where = String.Format("ActivityActiveContactID = '{0}'", contact.ContactID);

      InfoDataSet<ActivityInfo> updateActivities = ActivityInfoProvider.GetActivities(where, null);

 

      if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(updateActivities))

       {

          // Get just the first activity

          ActivityInfo activity = updateActivities.First<ActivityInfo>();

 

          // Update the activity

           activity.ActivityTitle = activity.ActivityTitle.ToLower();

 

          // Save the activity

          ActivityInfoProvider.SetActivityInfo(activity);

 

          return true;

       }

   }

 

  return false;

}

 

The following example gets and bulk updates multiple activities specified by a WHERE condition.

 

private bool GetAndBulkUpdateActivities()

{

  // Get dataset of contacts

  string where = "ContactLastName LIKE N'My New Contact%'";

  InfoDataSet<ContactInfo> contacts = ContactInfoProvider.GetContacts(where, null, 1, null);

 

  if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(contacts))

   {

      // Get the contact from dataset

      ContactInfo contact = contacts.First<ContactInfo>();

 

      // Get all activities associated with contact

       where = String.Format("ActivityActiveContactID = '{0}'", contact.ContactID);

      InfoDataSet<ActivityInfo> updateActivities = ActivityInfoProvider.GetActivities(where, null);

 

      if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(updateActivities))

       {

 

          foreach (ActivityInfo activity in updateActivities)

           {

              // Update activity content

               activity.ActivityTitle = activity.ActivityTitle.ToLower();

 

              // Save the activity

              ActivityInfoProvider.SetActivityInfo(activity);

           }

 

          return true;

       }

   }

 

  return false;

}

 

The following example deletes the activity logged by the first example in this topic.

 

private bool DeleteActivity()

{

  // Get dataset of contacts

  string where = "ContactLastName LIKE N'My New Contact%'";

  InfoDataSet<ContactInfo> contacts = ContactInfoProvider.GetContacts(where, null, 1, null);

 

  if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(contacts))

   {

      // Get the contact from dataset

      ContactInfo contact = contacts.First<ContactInfo>();

 

      // Get all activities associated with contact

       where = String.Format("ActivityOriginalContactID = '{0}'", contact.ContactID);

      InfoDataSet<ActivityInfo> activities = ActivityInfoProvider.GetActivities(where, null);

 

      if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(activities))

       {

          foreach (ActivityInfo activity in activities)

           {

              // Delete the object

              ActivityInfoProvider.DeleteActivityInfo(activity);

           }

 

          return true;

       }

   }

 

  return false;

}
