Description Huang Ji Yong

2011-09-26 23:18:19 EDT

The test case:
package client;

// RUI Handler

//
//

handler testRecord type RUIhandler{initialUI =[
            ], onConstructionFunction = start, cssFile = "css/testIR.css", title = "testRecord"}
	data any[];

    function start()    	
		data = [
			new myRec { field1 = "Row 1, Column 1", field2 = "Row 1, Column 2"},
			new myRec { field1 = "Row 2, Column 1", field2 = "Row 2, Column 2"}
		];
		// Both will cause runtime error.	
		syslib.writeStdout(data[1].field1);
		syslib.writeStdout((data[1] as myRec).field1);
	end
end

Record myRec
	field1 String;
	field2 String;
end

Ideally, data[1].field1 and data[1]["field1"] should be supported because DataGrid depends on it.

Ji Yong,

Both of these types of dynamic access work for me: 

        syslib.writeStdout(data[1].field1);
        syslib.writeStdout(data[1]["field2"]);

The second one syslib.writeStdout((data[1] as myRec).field1); still has runtime error.
The runtime function egl.convertAnyToRefType returns null in this test case.

This error may be related to bug 360498
