Getting the current order in backend code

Hi,

We are normally using the following code te get the current order from the Context:

Context.CartContext = OrderContext.GetOrderContextById(StringConstants.ApplicationVariables.DefaultOrderContextId);
return Context.Cart;

After having troubles with concurrency violations, some of which point to this code, and inspecting the underlying code with dot peek, it seems that the Context.Cart call itself does a save operation on the cart/order.

Should we be using another method to get the current cart/order?

Should a get operation at any time somehow be a save also?

As a recent experiment we have added the line

Context.LoadUserContextCarts();

before the Context.Cart call, this seems to help but we are not sure if this is 100% foolproof.

Please let us know what the correct method is.

Hi,

"Should we be using another method to get the current cart/order?"
- No, you shouldn't. But if it not working as expected in your case, I'd like to get more details.

"Should a get operation at any time somehow be a save also?"
- Yes, in this case it should. Since during the cart loading several of its properties may be changed (e.g. price/discount was changed) - all changes must be changed/recalculated and saved to database.

"Context.LoadUserContextCarts();"
- I am not sure that you need to perform it, since it is called anyway when user logging in.

Best regards,
Alexey
