Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overridable Function InsertHandler ( _
    insertSource As SourceIdentifier, _
    insertedDataSet As DataSet, _
    ByRef customDataSet As DataSet, _
    ByRef historyLogLevel As Integer, _
    ByRef historyLogMessage As String _

public virtual ActionOnDataChange InsertHandler (
    SourceIdentifier insertSource,
    DataSet insertedDataSet,
    ref DataSet customDataSet,
    ref int historyLogLevel,
    ref string historyLogMessage
)
public:
virtual ActionOnDataChange InsertHandler (
    SourceIdentifier insertSource, 
    DataSet^ insertedDataSet, 
    DataSet^% customDataSet, 
    int% historyLogLevel, 
    String^% historyLogMessage
)
public ActionOnDataChange InsertHandler (
    SourceIdentifier insertSource, 
    DataSet insertedDataSet, 
    /** @ref */ DataSet customDataSet, 
    /** @ref */ int historyLogLevel, 
    /** @ref */ String historyLogMessage
)
JScript does not support passing value-type arguments by reference.

Parameters

  • insertSource
    SourceIdentifier that defines whether the insert was initiated at the Publisher or the Subscriber.
  • insertedDataSet
    Dataset that contains the GUID of the row that was inserted.
  • customDataSet
    Dataset that contains the modified row returned by the custom business logic.
  • historyLogLevel
    Log level of the custom message returned by the custom business logic.
  • historyLogMessage
    Log message provided by the custom business logic. The log message gets written to the distribution database.

Return Value

The ActionOnDataChange action that will be taken by the process after the custom business logic has executed.
