# clsTaskActionCodeCollection

`clsTaskActionCodeCollection` loads and holds every row of `TASK_ACTION_CODE`, used to populate full action-code lookup lists (e.g., for UI dropdowns). Like its single-row counterpart, it is strictly read-only.

## Purpose
- Retrieve the full `TASK_ACTION_CODE` reference list, ordered by description ([SQL-004](../../sql/SQL-004-select-task-action-code-list.md)).
- Provide the well-known constant for "no action required" so callers do not hard-code the literal code value.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Tasks`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Tasks` (embedded in the `LegalMaintenance` web deployment)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `cNoActionRequired` | `Const cNoActionRequired As String = "NONE"` | Well-known code representing "no action required", avoiding a hard-coded literal in callers. |
| `GetCodes` | `Shared Function GetCodes(dpi As IDataPortalInfo) As clsTaskActionCodeCollection` | Factory/retrieval entry point that loads the entire action-code table ([SQL-004](../../sql/SQL-004-select-task-action-code-list.md)). |
| `Criteria` | `Friend Class Criteria` (nested, implements `IBusinessCriteria`) | Read-only criteria for this code table; write-SQL properties throw `ApplicationException(clsConstants.Messages.InvalidSQLProperty)` ([BR-023](../../business-rules.md#br-023-code-tables-are-read-only-reference-data)). |

## Behavioral notes
- The class is `<Serializable()>`, consistent with remoting/session persistence of BOF objects across the web tier*.
- Inherits from `clsBusinessCollectionBase`.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Any attempt to use `CreateSQL`/`InsertSQL`/`UpdateSQL`/`DeleteSQL` on this type's `Criteria` throws `ApplicationException(clsConstants.Messages.InvalidSQLProperty)` ([BR-023](../../business-rules.md#br-023-code-tables-are-read-only-reference-data)).
