Overview

Once you know its URI (or Record Number) there are a few ways to instantiate a record in the .Net SDK, choose the one that best suites your needs.  Each main object type (e.g. Location, History, Hold etc) follows the same pattern seen below.

Constructor

Use the constructor with either the record URI or number.  This method will throw a TrimException if the record is not found.

By URI

try
{
    Record record = new Record(database, 900000000);
    Console.WriteLine(record.Title);
}
catch (TrimException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

By record number

try
{
    Record record = new Record(database, "REC_1");
    Console.WriteLine(record.Title);
}
catch (TrimException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

Database 'find by' method

This will not throw an exception but the resulting object will be null if the Record is not found.

By URI

Record record = database.FindTrimObjectByUri(BaseObjectTypes.Record, 90000000) as Record;
if (record != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(record.Title);
}

By record number

Record record = database.FindTrimObjectByName(BaseObjectTypes.Record, "REC_1") as Record;
if (record != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(record.Title);
}

By URN

Find by URN can be useful for those occasions when you want to persist a unique identifier for a record (or other object type).

TrimMainObject trimMainObject = database.FindTrimObjectByURN("trim:H1/rec/9000000000");
if (trimMainObject != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(trimMainObject.Name);
}
