Unable to get primitive types in C#

[franckleveque]

Hi,
Thanks for your great work,
However, I'm unable to get primitive types for C# (I'm currently using a database model)

the construct I use is :

$env.setLanguage('C#')
#foreach( $attribute in $entity.attributes )
public ${attribute.type} ${attribute.name}
#end

I have also tried .fullType, .simpleType, none worked. They are always translated as object types.

ie :
public Int32 Id
public String Label

whereas I would like to generate :
public int Id
public string Label

Is there something I'm missing ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, are you sure to use Telosys ver 3.1.2 ?

Hi,
It seems I use, the 3.1.2 CLI. the ver command give me this :

Components versions :
Telosys CLI : 3.1.2 CLI-001
Telosys API : 3.1.0
Generator : 3.1.2
Generic model : 3.1.2
DSL model : 3.1.0
DB model : 3.0.3
GitHub client : 2.1
HTTP client : 4 (2018-04-09)

Do we need to update the different components separately ?

Your version is correct.

The cause of this behaviour is that in a Database Model the attribute type is still stored as a Java type and this Java type determines the "native or object" nature.
It's an "old fashion typing" and it will be aligned on the DSL model in the future version.
DBModel types examples :
"Short" means "Object type" = "System.Int16" in C#
"short" means "Primitive type" = "short" in C#
So for the time being you can change the model type (for example use "short" instead of "Short" in the DB model) but it's not applicable for "String"

You can also create a Velocity macro to convert the "model neutral type" into your expected type.
The model neutral type is always the same in DBModel and in DSL model : "int", "string", "short", "long", "boolean", "date", "time", etc.
You can retrieve an attribute neutral type with : "$attribute.neutralType"

Ok,

Thanks, I will go with neutralType for the moment.
