SAIF.Presentation.Web.Core.Infragistics103 operations and processes

This page is the operation catalog and cross-operation hub for this library. Each operation's detailed, step-by-step logic lives in its own page under operations/.

Operation catalog

Operation Intent Trigger Inputs Outputs Rules
Build authorized navigation context Load the set of menu items a user is authorized to see Application code constructs New NavigationContext(user) User identifier string Populated NavigationContext with MenuAuthorizedItems BR-NC-001
Resolve current menu item / page identity Determine the current page's authorized menu item Page code requests its own menu/page identity Category string, current request URL clsMenuAuthorizedItem or Nothing BR-NC-002
Page initialization and session keep-alive Initialize page state and register a session keep-alive script ASP.NET Init/Load lifecycle on any AppViewPageBase-derived page Page/session state Registered client script blocks, control CSS resets BR-AVPB-001
Grid column/sort/size preference persistence Apply, save, and clear per-user grid layout preferences Explicit call from consuming page code around grid data-bind/postback Grid instance, optional size div Grid layout applied/persisted, or an ORDER BY-style string —
Highlight grid rows/cells with broken business rules Visually flag grid cells bound to invalid business-object properties Explicit call after a save/validate attempt on a WebDataGrid The grid Boolean (whether any error was found), CSS/focus side effects BR-AVPB-002
Send email via legacy SOAP mail service Send outbound email with or without an attachment Explicit call from consuming application code To/from/subject/(optional message, attachment) Boolean result* —
Stream a file download Stream an existing file to the HTTP response as a download Explicit call from consuming page code Virtual filename, hosting page HTTP response written with file bytes BR-CMM-001
Focus-control script generation Generate client-side JavaScript that focuses a target control on page render Page_PreRender on any AppViewMasterPageBase-derived master page FocusControl property Registered startup script —

Inherited operations and processes

This section documents an operation performed by a base-framework type this library's AppViewPageBase extends. It is retrieved from SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC's own documentation and is listed here so this page's operation coverage is self-contained; see that library's operations and processes page for further detail.

From ViewPageBase (SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC)

Operation Intent Trigger Inputs Outputs Rules
Page/control lifecycle initialization Orchestrate the WebForms page/control request lifecycle: timeout check, authentication, menu authorization, model pre-init, query-string handling.† ViewPageBase.Page_Init / ViewControlBase.Page_Init, invoked ahead of AppViewPageBase's own Page_Init/Page_Load handling (CallSessionPing, grid preference application).† Current HttpContext (session, query string, request path)† Populated Model, Session("navdata"), possible redirect/response termination† INH-MVC-008

Process flow diagram

The following diagram visualizes the primary operational flow from page request through navigation-context resolution and grid/UI rendering.

flowchart TD
    Start([Page request]) --> Init[Page_Init / Page_Load]
    Init --> Ping[CallSessionPing]
    Init --> Nav[Build/resolve NavigationContext]
    Nav --> Auth{Authorized item found?}
    Auth -->|Yes| Render[Render page, apply grid preferences]
    Auth -->|No| Fallback[Nothing returned, page continues unauthorized-item handling]
    Render --> Save{User saves data?}
    Save -->|Yes, validation fails| Highlight[Highlight grid rows with broken rules]
    Save -->|Yes, validation passes| Persist[Persist preferences / send mail / stream download]
    Save -->|No| EndNoop([End])

Failure and edge-case behavior

  • NavigationContext.New has no branch/error handling in the constructor; failures surface as unhandled exceptions from the Oracle data layer or SAIF.Business.Menu collection calls.
  • GetItem/GetCurrentItem/GetCurrentPage return Nothing/empty result without further lookup when the application code itself cannot be resolved.
  • ApplySortPreferences wraps each column application in a Try/Catch that silently ignores a missing/renamed column key.
  • SetErrorColorInGrid silently skips a broken-rule-to-cell lookup failure via Try/Catch (e.g., column not present in the grid).
  • SendMail/SendMailWithAttachment have no error handling around the SOAP call; a service fault propagates as an unhandled exception.
  • Accessing Help* properties before HelpFolderName is set throws an unhandled ApplicationException.

Note: Statements marked with † are derived from dependency library documentation via the Legends CLI. Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure or contextual evidence. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
