clsMenuCategoryCodeCollection

Loads menu-category lookup rows.

Purpose

• Provide the category lookup set.
• Support collection membership checks.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Menu
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Menu.dll

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
Item (default, keyed)	Default Public Overloads ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal inCode As String) As clsMenuCategoryCode	Looks up a menu category code row in the loaded collection by its Code key, returning Nothing if no item matches.
CurrentItem	Public Shadows ReadOnly Property CurrentItem() As clsMenuCategoryCode	Returns the base collection's current item cast to clsMenuCategoryCode, avoiding caller-side casting when navigating the loaded category set.
Save	Public Overrides Function Save() As Boolean	Persists the current object state through the SAIF data-portal lifecycle.
Add	Public Shadows Function Add(ByVal inclsMenuCategoryCode As clsMenuCategoryCode) As Integer	Appends an already-constructed row to the in-memory collection so it participates in the next Save() and any collection-wide iteration, without issuing a retrieve.
Contains	Public Overloads Function Contains(ByVal inclsMenuCategoryCode As clsMenuCategoryCode) As Boolean	Scans the loaded collection for an item whose Code equals the supplied object's Code (clsMenuCategoryCode.Equals compares only the Code field).
Contains	Public Overloads Function Contains(ByVal inCode As String) As Boolean	Scans the loaded collection for an item whose Code property equals the supplied code string.
ContainsDeleted	Public Overloads Function ContainsDeleted(ByVal inclsMenuCategoryCode As clsMenuCategoryCode) As Boolean	Scans the deleted-items list for an entry whose Code equals the supplied object's Code.
ContainsDeleted	Public Overloads Function ContainsDeleted(ByVal inCode As String) As Boolean	Scans the deleted-items list for an entry whose Code equals the supplied code string, via clsMenuCategoryCode.Equals(Object).
Remove	Public Overloads Sub Remove(ByVal inCode As String)	Removes the menu category code matching the supplied key from the in-memory collection and moves it to the inherited deleted-items list so a subsequent Save() still issues the delete statement.
NewMenuCategoryCodes	Public Shared Function NewMenuCategoryCodes(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inCode As String) As clsMenuCategoryCodeCollection	Creates a new typed object using the supplied data-portal context.
GetMenuCategoryCodes	Public Shared Function GetMenuCategoryCodes(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo) As clsMenuCategoryCodeCollection	Retrieves every MENU_CATEGORY_CODE row (unfiltered), building the full category lookup set used to populate category-selection lists and to group MENU_ITEM rows for rendering.

Behavioral notes

• Reads the full lookup table.

Constraints and usage notes

• Reference-data collection.

Inherited public members

No dependency-resolution.json was produced for this run, so the members below are a best-effort inference from typical SAIF BOF framework (clsBusinessCollection(Of T)) patterns observed elsewhere in this codebase, not a Legends CLI-sourced dependency lookup.**

From clsBusinessCollection(Of clsMenuCategoryCode) (SAIF.BOF.Framework)**

Member	Signature	Purpose	Origin
Count	Public ReadOnly Property Count() As Integer	*Purpose could not be verified beyond the standard collection-indexer contract**; inferred usage is bounding For loops when callers iterate loaded clsMenuCategoryCode rows outside GetEnumerator.	clsBusinessCollection(Of T)
Item	Public Default ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal index As Integer) As clsMenuCategoryCode	*Purpose could not be verified beyond the standard collection-indexer contract**; inferred usage is positional access to a loaded clsMenuCategoryCode row during indexed iteration or lookup-by-slot.	clsBusinessCollection(Of T)
GetEnumerator	Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator(Of clsMenuCategoryCode)	Supports For Each iteration over the loaded collection.**	clsBusinessCollection(Of T)
IsDirty	Public Overridable ReadOnly Property IsDirty() As Boolean	Reports whether any loaded or deleted item in the collection has pending changes.**	clsBusinessCollection(Of T)
IsValid	Public Overridable ReadOnly Property IsValid() As Boolean	Reports whether every loaded item in the collection independently reports itself valid.**	clsBusinessCollection(Of T)

Note: Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
