How can I efficiently determine if a specific record exists in an index using XSharp? Are there any built-in functions or methods available for this purpose?

Hi Daniel,

What do you mean by "index"?

Hi Daniel, Chris,

see my post

BTW,

here is my solution which seems to work

METHOD IsRecordInOrder(nRecno,nOrder) // class MyDBServer inherit DBServer
LOCAL lOk AS LOGIC
LOCAL uTop AS USUAL
LOCAL uBottom AS USUAL
LOCAL uValue AS USUAL
LOCAL nOldRec AS DWORD
LOCAL nOldOrder AS DWORD

Default(@nRecno,0)
Default(@nOrder,0)

IF nRecno > 0
nOldRec := SELF:Recno
SELF:goto(nRecno)
ENDIF
IF nOrder > 0
nOldOrder := SELF:orderinfo(DBOI_NUMBER)
SELF:setorder(nOrder)
ENDIF

BEGIN SEQUENCE

// Index-Bedingung
IF SELF:orderinfo(DBOI_ISCOND)
IF !Evaluate(SELF:orderinfo(DBOI_CONDITION))
BREAK
ENDIF
ENDIF

// Scope
uTop := SELF:orderinfo(DBOI_SCOPETOP)
uBottom := SELF:orderinfo(DBOI_SCOPEBOTTOM)

IF !Empty(uTop) .OR. !Empty(uBottom)
uValue := SELF:Orderkeyval
IF SELF:Orderdescend()
IF !Empty(uTop)
IF uValue > uTop
BREAK
ENDIF
ENDIF
IF !Empty(uBottom)
IF uValue < uBottom
BREAK
ENDIF
ENDIF
ELSE
IF !Empty(uTop)
IF uValue < uTop
BREAK
ENDIF
ENDIF
IF !Empty(uBottom)
IF uValue > uBottom
BREAK
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF

lOk := TRUE

END SEQUENCE

IF nOrder > 0
SELF:setorder(nOldOrder)
ENDIF
IF nRecno > 0
SELF:goto(nOldRec)
ENDIF

RETURN lOk

Probably i miss the obvious - but why not doing a "Seek" in the order?

Karl,

because the indexkey might not be unique

Ah, I was missing the obvious, was working on some help advanced topics and was thinking about the record type in c# and index in an array
