Property isVariantMaster not working?

Rob Lohmann

We're trying looping through a set of products and we want to determine if the current product is a mainproduct and has variants. We wan't to exclude the mainproducts from our overviewpage when variants exist. We used the property product.isVariantMaster, but it always seems to return false.

Is this property not working correctly?

As a work around we use the rule of code below.

Dim bIsMaster As Boolean = myProduct.VariantGroupCnt > 0 AndAlso myProduct.VariantID = ""

Kind regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,

The property looks like this:

        Public ReadOnly Property IsVariantMaster() As Boolean
            Get
                Return Me.VariantID = "" AndAlso Me.VariantCnt > 0 AndAlso Me.VariantGroupCnt > 0
            End Get
        End Property

So, the only difference is the myProduct.VariantCnt part that is missing. This property gets it value from column ProductVariantCounter on table EcomProducts.

I don't know if this information answers your question, as to why it returns false?

Hi Morten,

You are right, it is better to test also if a variant-product for that master exists. Because if it doesn't, we need to show the master product.

Altough I think the test for VariantGroepCnt can be ommitted. It can't be 0 when the variantCnt >0. Or am I wrong?

IsVariantMaster should work, we test it tomorrow.

Kind regards, Jurgen
