Issue with DDS setup

Hello,

I am working on a POC with Dynamic data saving and retrieving and have followed the below article.

https://roland.kierkels.net/2014/10/storing-data-using-episerver-7-5-dynamic-data-store . Howe

I get Object variable not set error while saving a new record on the line .

var store = DynamicDataStoreFactory.Instance.CreateStore(typeof (Comment));

Not sure if I am missing anything in the config file or an initialization module.This is what I have in the config: Can someone point me what am I missing.

Note: I am doing this in a class library so that I can reference it later in web project if we decide on going with DDS.

What version of Episerver CMS are you using?

Try adding this attribute to your Comment class:

[EPiServerDataStore(AutomaticallyCreateStore = true, AutomaticallyRemapStore = true)]
public class Comment : IDynamicData
{
      // Required to implement IDynamicData
      public Identity Id { get; set; }
 
      // Save datetime comment was created
      public DateTime DateTime { get; set; }
 
      // Save pageID of page on which comment was created.
      public int PageID { get; set; }
 
      // Save name of person who commented
      public string Name { get; set; }
 
      // Holds the actual comment
      public string Text { get; set; } 
}

Then

var store = DynamicDataStoreFactory.InstanceGetOrCreateStore(typeof(Comment));

var comment = new Comment();
// Initialize comment, make sure the Id property are set.

store.Save(comment);

Hi Dileep,

As you are using a different class library project so make sure your DB context is initialized properly before you perform any operation.

You can refer an article here-

Thanks

Thanks for the information. However with same code used inside the application was working fine so I have left it for now. I believe it could be because of DB initializarion but couldnt find out what was wrong.
