How to tell if an ObjectID has already been Opened

Anonymous — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 18:24:02 GMT

I have an event handler setup for DB.ObjectErased event. In certain situations I need to check the object. However, I can run into an issue where the erase was triggered from another one of my functions, so I error out when I try to access the object with an eWasOpenForWrite. The details are not very relevent here, and my question is: is there a way to check the object ID to see if it was already opened before I try to open it?

I would like to check, rather than put it in a Try...Catch, if only because when I debug, i leave visual studio set to break on exceptions and it can make debugging difficult when the code keeps stopping.

Database.ObjectErased provides the DBObject itself as an argument; you don't need to open it from an ObjectId.

Check the property

DBObject.IsWriteEnabled

Don't check DBObject.IsWriteEnabled in Database.ObjectErased. Instead, check your assumptions about what triggers Database.ObjectErased and your assumption about what you can safely accomplish in Database.ObjectErased.
