Examples

Creating a default ticket field resolver:

private TicketFieldResolver CreateDefaultResolver()
{
	var resolver = TicketFieldResolver.Factory.CreateDefaultResolver();

string error;

var success = Helper.SetTicketFieldResolver(out error, ref resolver);
if(!success)
{
	throw new DataMinerException("Something went wrong during setting the TicketFieldResolver: " + error);	
}

return resolver;



}

Creating a custom resolver:

private TicketFieldResolver CreateCustomResolver()
{
	TicketFieldResolver resolver = TicketFieldResolver.Factory.CreateEmptyResolver("CustomResolver");

// Specify the element that will use this ticket field resolver. Leave empty in case the resolver is not used by any element.
resolver.ElementUsingResolver = new Skyline.DataMiner.Net.ElementID(123, 456);

// The generated empty resolver already contains a "State" field. Remove this in case this is undesired.
var fields = resolver.GetDataMinerFields2ThirdPartyFields();

foreach(var fields in fields)
{
	resolver.RemoveDataMinerField(field.Key);
	resolver.RemoveThirdPartyField(field.Value);
}

// Clear the custom states.
resolver.StateResolver.Clear();

// Clear the link fields.
resolver.TicketLinkFields.Clear();

// Add a "Links" field.
resolver.TicketLinkFields.Add("Links");

// Create a state field.
// First, we create a StateEnum which contains the names and integer values of the states.
StateEnum dmaState = new StateEnum();
dmaState.EnumName = "MyStates";
dmaState.DynamicAdd("Created", 0);
dmaState.DynamicAdd("Started", 1);
dmaState.DynamicAdd("Paused", 2);
dmaState.DynamicAdd("Stopped", 3);
dmaState.DynamicAdd( "Closed", 4);

// We now link our custom ticket states to a DataMiner .
// I.e. "Created" has value 0 and gets linked to .
resolver.StateResolver.Add(0, TicketState.Open); // Created
resolver.StateResolver.Add(1, TicketState.Open); // Started
resolver.StateResolver.Add(2, TicketState.Open); // Paused
resolver.StateResolver.Add(3, TicketState.Closed); // Stopped
resolver.StateResolver.Add(4, TicketState.Closed); // Closed

// Now we add a "State" field.
resolver.AddOrUpdateNames(
	// Here, we add the descriptor for our "State" field.
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "State",
		FieldName = "State",

		IsDataMinerMaster = true,	// When a clash of this field occurs, the value set by DataMiner is used.
		Validator = new EnumValidator<int>(DmaState)
	},
	// And we link the "State" field to a third-party "Status" field.
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Status",
		FieldName = "Status",
		FieldType = typeof(string),
		IsThirdParty = true,	// This is a third-party ticket field.
		Validator = new TypeValidator<string>
	}

// Add a "User Name" field.
resolver.AddOrUpdateNames(
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "User Name",
		FieldName = "User",
		FieldType = typeof(string),
		IsThirdParty = false,	// This is a DataMiner ticket field.
		Validator = new UserValidator() // We know this is a user.
	},
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Account Number",
		FieldName = "Accnr",
		FieldType = typeof(long),
		IsThirdParty = true,	// This is a third-party ticket field.
		Validator = new TypeValidator<long>	// The third-party system uses an account number instead of a user.
	}
);

// Create an email field.
resolver.AddOrUpdateNames(
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Email Address",
		FieldName = "Mail",
		FieldType = typeof(string),
		IsThirdParty = false,	// This is a DataMiner ticket field.
		Validator = new EmailAddressValidator() // We know this has to be an email address.
	},
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Internal Address",
		FieldName = "Addr",
		FieldType = typeof(string),
		IsThirdParty = true,	// This is a third-party ticket field.
		Validator = new RegexValidator()	// The third-party system uses a string, but we can validate it with a regular expression.
		{
			RegexOptions = RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.SingleLine,
			RegexPattern = @"\A(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9]!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)\Z"
		}
	}
);

// Add a "Quality" field.
resolver.AddOrUpdateNames(
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Quality",
		FieldName = "Quality",
		FieldType = typeof(double),
		IsThirdParty = false,	// This is a DataMiner ticket field.
		Validator = new TypeValidator<double>() // A quality score.
	},
	new TicketFieldDescriptor()
	{
		FieldDisplayName = "Score",
		FieldName = "Score",
		FieldType = typeof(byte),
		IsThirdParty = true,	// This is a third-party ticket field.
		Validator = new TypeValidator<byte>	// The third-party system uses a byte to store this.
	}
);

// Save our custom ticket field resolver.
string error;

if(!Helper.SetTicketFieldResolver(out error, ref resolver))
{
	throw new DataMinerException("Something went wrong during setting the TicketFieldResolver: " + error")

Remarks

The TicketFieldResolver contains a dictionary with all the names of the fields. Therefore, it is not allowed to have multiple TicketFieldDescriptor objects in the same TicketFieldResolver instance that share the same FieldName.
