clsOnlineContext¶

clsOnlineContext is a thin clsContext subclass used exclusively by the SAIF Online application; it hardcodes the application name to "Online" at construction time and exposes a shadowed, lower-case savecontext wrapper around the inherited SaveContext. It performs no independent SQL of its own — all persistence delegates to the base clsContext's private clsContextRepository.

Purpose¶

Fixes ApplicationName = "Online" so all context rows this instance saves/deletes in the Context table are correctly attributed to the Online application without the caller having to pass it explicitly.
Accepts and stores a clsSecurityPrincipal directly in its constructor, bypassing the lazy SecurityCheck()-driven population used elsewhere.

Context¶

Namespace: SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC
Assembly/package: SAIF.BOF.Presentation.Web.Infragistics103 (source-bundled)

Public members¶

Member	Signature	Purpose
`New(inSecPrinc)`	`Public Sub New(ByVal inSecPrinc As clsSecurityPrincipal)`	Sets `MyBase.SecurityPrincipal = inSecPrinc` and `MyBase.ApplicationName = "Online"`, producing a context instance pre-bound to the Online application and a supplied principal.
`savecontext`	`Public Shadows Sub savecontext(ByVal inSessionID As String)`	Shadows (does not override) the inherited `SaveContext`; simply forwards to `MyBase.SaveContext(inSessionID)`, which deletes and re-inserts `Context` rows via SQL-MVC-004 and SQL-MVC-001.

Inherited public members¶

Members in this section are inherited from clsContext in SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC. They are available on this type through inheritance.

Member	Signature	Purpose	Origin
`claimId`	`Public Property claimId() As Decimal`	Carries a claim identifier as part of the cross-application context this `clsOnlineContext` instance saves/reads for the Online application, so a claim in progress can be resumed after navigating between applications.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`policyNum`	`Public Property policyNum() As Integer`	Carries a policy number as part of the same Online cross-application context hand-off as `claimId`.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`SAIFClaimNum`	`Public Property SAIFClaimNum() As String`	Carries the SAIF claim number alongside `claimId` in the Online context hand-off; the two identifiers are not established by source to be interchangeable.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`ProviderLocationSeqNum`	`Public Property ProviderLocationSeqNum() As Integer`	Carries a provider location sequence number as part of the Online cross-application context hand-off, for flows that need to resume at a specific provider location.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`SecurityPrincipal`	`Public Property SecurityPrincipal() As clsSecurityPrincipal`	Holds the `clsSecurityPrincipal` this `clsOnlineContext` instance was constructed with, so Online-application code can attribute the saved/retrieved context to the authenticated caller.	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`UserID`	`Public ReadOnly Property UserID() As String`	Exposes the Online caller's username (derived from `SecurityPrincipal`, upper-cased) for code that needs to identify or log the user associated with this context instance rather than reconstructing it from `SecurityPrincipal` directly.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`GetContext`	`Public Function GetContext(ByVal key As String) As String`	Reads a previously `SetContext`-stored value by key from this instance's in-memory context bag, ahead of (or independent from) any `savecontext`/`SaveContext` persistence to the `Context` table.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`SetContext`	`Public Sub SetContext(ByVal key As String, ByVal value As String)`	Stages an arbitrary named value in this instance's in-memory context bag before it is persisted via `savecontext`/`SaveContext`, allowing Online code to hand off context beyond the fixed `claimId`/`policyNum`/`SAIFClaimNum`/`ProviderLocationSeqNum` properties.*	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`RetrieveContext`	`Protected Friend Function RetrieveContext(ByVal SourceAppName As String, ByVal CurrentAppName As String, ByVal inSessionID As String) As Hashtable`	Reads and deletes the `Context` table rows a different source application left for this session, so the Online application can pick up context handed off during cross-application navigation.	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`
`GetPID`	`Protected Friend Function GetPID(ByVal inSessionID As String, ByVal inContextName As String) As String`	Looks up a single named `Context` table value for this session, used to resolve one context item (for example a view/model identifier) without retrieving the full cross-application context set.	`SAIF.Presentation.Web.MVC` — `clsContext`

Behavioral notes¶

savecontext is declared Shadows, not Overrides — clsContext is not MustInherit/Overridable on SaveContext, so this is a name-hiding wrapper, not polymorphic dispatch; calling SaveContext (base name, different case) through a clsContext-typed reference still invokes the base implementation directly.
This class performs no additional table access beyond what it inherits from clsContext.

Constraints and usage notes¶

Consumers must use the clsOnlineContext constructor overload (requiring a clsSecurityPrincipal) rather than either of clsContext's constructors, since clsOnlineContext does not expose the base's parameterless or inAppName-only constructors.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
