How to use length function in aras?server side method.

Replace following line:

Item itmid=this.getProperty(“item_number”);

With:

Item itmid=this.getProperty(“item_number”, "");

can we write this for client side? can you just tell the code  

Hi BK, The getProperty function returns a string, not an Item. You should update your code as shown below to declare the itmid variable to be a string.

Innovator inn=this.getInnovator();
string itmid=this.getProperty("item_number"); // <-- getProperty returns a string
//return this.getInnovator().newError("hello");
if(itmid.Length == 20)
{
return this.getInnovator().newError("Invalid Value!");
}
return this; // <-- Server-side methods always need to return an Item

Mr.Chris, Thanks for help! Being a new to ARAS can you give me some tips to write methods efficiently using client events. Can you give methods to refer.  

Hello, One of our Aras Labs team members recently put together a list of helpful resources for learning Aras Innovator which you can find here. The Developer Resources section in particular contains some useful links for getting started with customizing Innovator.
