RE: Reuse Code in C# Method

AngelIp,

In this case I have several Identities that I want to add based on a couple of factors, System field and Activity. I would like to be able to use the same method for several activities if possible. I have named strings that contain the Identity ID and use a Union to combine a couple of them for the assignment. Because I want to use this in a few places, I want to be able to set the var identId and then move to the posted code. I can make it work by having If statements with var identId (with the Identity IDs associated) and the code inside of the If statement, but that means I have to continually paste the code into all of the If statements.

Really funny! I worked on an exact same scenario yesterday. Just look at my reviewer fields in this post:

https://community.aras.com/f/development/36437/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-show-a-placeholder-when-an-item-selector-is-empty

I also thought about make this one reusable, cause I already have three similar Methods. But in my case all my CM processes have their special scnearious, so I sticked to the copy&paste version.

In my case the line of code with your "identId" looks like this:

assignment.setProperty("voting_weight", (100 / reviewers.Count + 1).ToString());

"reviewers" in my case is a list that contains my reviewers. I use some extra code (hashset) to avoid people assign themselves multiple times to speed up the progress. It´s based on the available reviewer fields in the form. Do you always have the same amount of reviewers or do they change? Then you can just use a static value in side the method.

You basically have to count your reviewer fields to calculate the voting_weight. But you can also make this one dynamic based on your Team roles.
