Title: Can't use Repository.Execute(..) with VS 2012
Post by: Helmut Ortmann on June 21, 2012, 10:11:13 pm

Hello,

I wanted to use the undocumented function Repository.Execute(..). I can't see it with Visual Studio. The other functions are available. In the Object Catalog it's marked gray as opposed to black for the other methods.

Is there a special trick to use this function?

Kind regards,

Helmut

You can't see it, but you can still use it.
Just type it out in full and it should work.

Somehow this is a kind of "gray area" undocumented operation.

Hello Geert,

thanks a lot. I just found the solution. I think a hidden method.

It works!

Kind regards,

Helmut

What does this 'secret' method do? I can't seem to see it on VS2012 Object browser?

That why it's secret. It is an unsupported, though existing since long time method. You supply a SQL command to update/delete records. See also my scripting book.
