.NET Bulk Operations AuditMode

Description

The AuditMode property allows you to exclude or include properties from the auditing.

Example

We will demonstrate how to exclude all properties to include only specific properties.

Mapping

We will use the following mapping:

To exclude all properties

bulk.AuditMode = AuditModeType.ExcludeAll;

To include specific properties

bulk.ColumnMappings.Add(
    new ColumnMapping<Customer>("CustomerID", true)
    {
        AuditMode = ColumnMappingAuditModeType.Include
    }
);
bulk.ColumnMappings.Add(
    new ColumnMapping<Customer>("Name")
    {
        AuditMode = ColumnMappingAuditModeType.Include
    }
);

Execute

We will execute a BulkMerge on a list that contains 1 new customer and 2 existing customers.

Code

// Execute
List<AuditEntry> auditEntries = new List<AuditEntry>(); 
using (var bulk = new BulkOperation(connection))
{
    bulk.DestinationTableName = "Customer";
    bulk.UseAudit = true;

    bulk.AuditMode = AuditModeType.ExcludeAll;
    
    bulk.ColumnMappings.Add(
        new ColumnMapping<Customer>("CustomerID", true)
        {
            AuditMode = ColumnMappingAuditModeType.Include
        }
    );
    bulk.ColumnMappings.Add(
        new ColumnMapping<Customer>("Name")
        {
            AuditMode = ColumnMappingAuditModeType.Include
        }
    );
    bulk.BulkMerge(list);

    auditEntries = bulk.AuditEntries;
}

// Result
FiddleHelper.WriteTable(auditEntries.SelectMany(x => x.Values));

Try it: .NET Core | .NET Framework

Result

We outputted all AuditEntryItem auditing metadata. The only information that appears is about the CustomerID and Name property.
