Hi there,

What cloning code are you using?

Why you don't you simply create a new order and copy over the properties through code? You can automate this using something like AutoMapper....

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar

I made it work with a custom function.
The function makes a copy from a field in the source order and copies it to the field in the target order:

Protected Sub CopyMyOrder(ByVal Target As Orders.Order, ByVal Source As Orders.Order, ByVal Credit As Boolean)
            Target.CustomerAddress = Source.CustomerAddress
            Target.CustomerAddress2 = Source.CustomerAddress2
            Target.CustomerName = Source.CustomerName
            Target.CustomerNumber = Source.CustomerNumber
End Sub

Above a few lines of the complete function. 
It takes about 60 lines to copy al the important fields to the new order.

There are 2 functions in code available, copy() and clone().

It seems to me that I can make an new order and use one of the two functions to copy al the 
properties of one order to another order.
Like: 
            Dim myOriginalOrder As eCommerce.Orders.Order = eCommerce.Orders.Order.Create("WO1234")
            Dim myNewOrder As New Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.Order
            myNewOrder = myOriginalOrder.Clone()

or:
            Dim myOriginalOrder As eCommerce.Orders.Order = eCommerce.Orders.Order.Create("WO1234")
            Dim myNewOrder As New Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.Order
            myNewOrder = myOriginalOrder.Copy()

Visual Studio says the code is OK, the functions ar valid.
But when you try to run the code, there comes the execption.

 Hi Martijn,

I don't know if that is it, but it seems to me that you are missing out on the Save() method of your clone:

Order o = new Order();
o = order.Clone();
o.Save(order.ID);

Let me know how it goes.

PS: Rather post too much than too little, when posting your code...we've got lots of storage!  ;-)

Hi Morten,

If I read Martijn's message right, he gets an error when he clones the order. He gets a "not serializable" exception on the OrderCaptureInfo type which makes sense as the type is indeed not marked as [Serializable].

So, maybe Clone and Copy (which uses Clone) broke when the CaptureInfo class was added recently? The same might be true for some other properties.

Hi Imar / Morten

That's correct. The exception takes place when I try to copy or clone an excisting order to my new order.
