valid_from / valid_to possible?

[bestage]

Is it possible to query the history for entities which were valid on XX.XX.XXXX ???? something like when I used valid_from / valid_to.

Hello,

you just need to obtain the revision number for that date (there's a method for that in AuditReader), and then you can read/query entities at that revision.

Adam,

Now I understand. I have also found an interesting discussion here:

In fact, you are right, this approach works well if I need to find the Entity on date X, which is very often a business requirement.



One more question: have you ever thought of making a Locking Component too?

This pattern "lock-modify-unlock" (also described in the SVN docs) is a must for a typical business online app, where the users that first started an edit locks the record, so that all the other users can only view such a record.

Hello,

I guess locking doesn't fall really in the scope of auditing - that would be a separate project :)
