clsTradingAs¶

clsTradingAs represents one DBA/trading-as row tied to a policy. It retrieves a single TRADING_AS record by TRADING_SEQ_NUM, exposes the identity, effective, registration, tax, and display-classification fields on that row, and lazily resolves the type description from the TRADING_AS_TYPE_CODE code set when callers need a human-readable label.

Purpose¶

Retrieve one TRADING_AS record by TRADING_SEQ_NUM through an inline SELECT.
Expose the DBA name, type code, effective/cancel dates, and related identifiers used in policy displays.
Resolve the trading-as type description from the code table on demand so callers can show the descriptive label rather than only the raw code.*

`RegistrationDate`	`Public ReadOnly Property RegistrationDate() As Date`	Gives the registration date stored for the DBA record.
`TradingASTypeCode`	`Public ReadOnly Property TradingASTypeCode() As String`	Returns the coded DBA type used to classify this name.
`TradingAsDescription`	`Public ReadOnly Property TradingAsDescription As String`	Resolves the current type code to its description through the loaded code collection.
`TradingAsDesriptions`	`Public ReadOnly Property TradingAsDesriptions As clsCodeCollection`	Lazily loads the `TRADING_AS_TYPE_CODE` code set used to describe DBA type codes.
`IsPriorLegal`	`Public ReadOnly Property IsPriorLegal As Boolean`	Flags rows whose trading-as type code is `PL`, identifying prior-legal entries.
`MyCriteria`	`Friend ReadOnly Property MyCriteria() As Criteria`	Exposes the criteria object that supplies data-portal context and the key for retrieval.
`Equals`	`Public Overloads Shared Function Equals(ByVal objA As Object, ByVal objB As Object) As Boolean`	Compares two boxed DBA objects by trading-sequence identity.
`Equals`	`Public Overloads Overrides Function Equals(ByVal inObject As Object) As Boolean`	Applies the trading-sequence equality rule to an arbitrary object.
`Equals`	`Public Overloads Function Equals(ByVal inObject As clsTradingAs) As Boolean`	Treats two DBA objects as equal when they carry the same trading sequence number.
`GetHashCode`	`Public Overrides Function GetHashCode() As Integer`	Produces a hash based on the trading sequence key.
`ToString`	`Public Overrides Function ToString() As String`	Returns the trading sequence number as the object's compact string form.
`GetTradingAs`	`Public Shared Function GetTradingAs(ByVal inDataportal As iDataPortalInfo, inTradingSeqNum as DECIMAL) As clsTradingAs`	Retrieves one DBA record through the data portal.
`DataPortalInfo`	`Friend Property DataPortalInfo() As iDataPortalInfo`	Carries data-portal context inside the nested criteria object.
`TradingSeqNum`	`Public Property TradingSeqNum as DECIMAL`	Stores the key passed to the inline `TRADING_AS` query.
`RetrieveSQL`	`Friend ReadOnly Property RetrieveSQL() as String`	Supplies the inline `SELECT` over `TRADING_AS` filtered by `TRADING_SEQ_NUM`.

Behavioral notes¶

BeforeRetrieve sends :TradingSeqNum to the inline SELECT against TRADING_AS, and AfterRetrieve fills the object from the first result row.
TradingAsDesriptions loads a clsCodeCollection only on first use, so callers that only need raw type codes avoid the extra code-table lookup.*
The type has no custom business rules; the object functions as a read-only projection of the database row.

Constraints and usage notes¶

The code deliberately documents the public member name TradingAsDesriptions with its source spelling, even though the identifier is misspelled in VB.
Persistence operations throw InvalidSQLProperty, so this page reflects the library's read-only contract under BR-VP-027.
Inherited members are omitted because clsBusinessBase is external.

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.
