ParseAggregate Method

Parses the aggregate returned from another component's GetDetailAggregate method.

Syntax

Remarks

This method takes the XML aggregate returned from the FDMSRetail or FDMSECommerce control, parses it, and then fills all the properties of the FDMSDetailRecord control. While normally you can pass the results of the GetDetailAggregate method call directly to the FDMSSettle control, sometimes it is necessary to adjust the contents of the XML aggregate first.

For example, to add a gratuity to a charge:

  FDMSDetailRecord.ParseAggregate(FDMSRetail.GetDetailAggregate())
  FDMSDetailRecord.Gratuity = "500"
  FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionAmount = FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionAmount + FDMSDetailRecord.Gratuity
  FDMSSettle.DetailAggregate(0) = FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()
