DataModel Change Trigger

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

As I am working through creating a minimum application template, I want to make sure I have the features that will be needed in almost any application.  One of those would be to trigger a notification that the DataModel has been updated.  An example use of this is a ListView populated using a DataModel.  In the application I created for work, when I add a new sales lead through the form, the user gets sent back to a ListView of all the entered leads saved in the device sql database.  After the data is inserted into the table successfully, then Continue reading DataModel Change Trigger→
