# clsTaskPriorityCode

`clsTaskPriorityCode` represents a single, read-only row of `TASK_PRIORITY_CODE`, exposing the code's mapped `TaskPriority` enum value alongside its description.

## Purpose
- Load and expose one priority code, its description, and its corresponding `TaskPriority` enum value ([SQL-009](../../sql/SQL-009-select-task-priority-code.md)).

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

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Code` | `ReadOnly Property Code As String` | The priority code value (`TASK_PRIORITY_CODE.CODE`). |
| `Description` | `ReadOnly Property Description As String` | Human-readable description (`TASK_PRIORITY_CODE.CODE_DESCR`). |
| `TaskPriority` | `ReadOnly Property TaskPriority As TaskPriority` | The `TaskPriority` enum value this code maps to. |
| `GetCode` | `Shared Function GetCode(dpi As IDataPortalInfo, inCode As String) As clsTaskPriorityCode` | Factory/retrieval entry point that loads a single priority code by value ([SQL-009](../../sql/SQL-009-select-task-priority-code.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*.

## 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)).
