The ChangeOperationResponse type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Descriptor	Gets the EntityDescriptor or LinkDescriptor modified by a change operation.
	Error	Gets error thrown by the operation. (Inherited from OperationResponse.)
	Headers	When overridden in a derived class, contains the HTTP response headers associated with a single operation. (Inherited from OperationResponse.)
	StatusCode	When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the HTTP response code associated with a single operation. (Inherited from OperationResponse.)

Remarks

ChangeOperationResponse objects are not intended to be constructed directly by a user of this library. Instead, references are returned when enumerating the operation responses returned via the enumerator on the DataServiceResponse class.

SaveChanges submits pending changes to the data service collected by the DataServiceContext since the last call to SaveChanges. Changes are added to the context by calling AddObject, AddLink, DeleteObject, DeleteLink, Detach, DetachLink, and similar methods.

SaveChanges returns a DataServiceResponse that represents the response to all operations sent to the data service. The DataServiceResponse object includes a sequence of ChangeOperationResponse objects that, in turn, contain a sequence of EntityDescriptor or LinkDescriptor instances that represent the changes that were persisted or attempted.

Examples

The following code shows how to process the results of a call to SaveChanges.

DataServiceContext service = new DataServiceContext(new Uri("http://myserviceroot"));

// Do insert, update, delete, or attach operations.

DataServiceResponse dsr;

try
{
    dsr = service.SaveChanges(SaveChangesOptions.Batch);  
   // Or service.SaveChanges(SaveChangesOptions.ContinueOnError); 
   //Or service.SaveChanges();
   // If there are no errors during save changes, process the results:

    if (dsr.IsBatchResponse)
    {
           /*inspect HTTP artifacts associated with the entire batch:
                             dsr.BatchHeaders, dsr.BatchStatusCode*/ }

    foreach (ChangeOperationResponse cor in dsr)
    {
        
            if (cor.Descriptor is EntityDescriptor)
            {
                EntityDescriptor ed = (EntityDescriptor)cor.Descriptor;
                // This should be the case if
                // SaveChanges did not throw an exception.  

                // After an entity is processed by SaveChanges,
                // it is always moved to the unchanged state.
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(
                           ed.State == EntityStates.Unchanged);  
                // This shows that the state should be unchanged if
                // the result is success.
               
                //process the entity in the response payload: ed.Entity
            }
            else if (cor.Descriptor is LinkDescriptor)
            {
                LinkDescriptor ld = (LinkDescriptor)cor.Descriptor;
               // This should be the case if SaveChanges did not throw an exception.

               // After an entity is processed by SaveChanges it
               // is always moved to the unchanged state.
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(
                            ld.State == EntityStates.Unchanged);  
                // The state should be unchanged if the result is success.
               
                //process the link in the response payload: ld.Source,
                // ld.SourceProperty, or ld.Target.
            }
     }
    
}
catch (DataServiceSaveException se)
{
    // Error while saving changes
    dsr = se.Response;

    if (dsr.IsBatchResponse) 
    { 
        /*inspect HTTP artifacts associated with the entire batch:
             dsr.BatchHeaders, dsr.BatchStatusCode*/ 
}    
}

    foreach (ChangeOperationResponse cor in dsr)
    {
        if (cor.Error != null)
        {
            //process error
        }
        else
        {
            // same success case processing as in the loop over DSRs results in 
            // the try block. You could put that processing in a method 
            // and call it from here.    
        }
    }

}

 catch(Exception)
 {
    // Error while saving changes, but not thrown by the client library.

    // Process ArgumentException, InvalidOperationException, or similar.
}
}
