There is a ViewController with an Action created in the MainDemo. The TargetViewId of this controller is the User-Roles ListView. How can i get access to the User object from the Execute event handler of the Action?

Hi Alexander,

You can use the following code to access the root detail view current object:

public partial class ViewController1 : ViewController { 
       static private DetailView _rootDetailView = null;
        public ViewController1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            RegisterActions(components);
            simpleAction1.TargetViewId = "User_Roles_ListView";
        }
        private void ViewController1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            if (View is DetailView && View.IsRoot && typeof(User).IsAssignableFrom(View.ObjectType)) {
                _rootDetailView = (DetailView)View;
            }
        }
        private void simpleAction1_Execute(object sender, SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs e) {
            User user = (User)_rootDetailView.CurrentObject;
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(user.FullName);
        }
        private void ViewController1_Deactivating(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            if (View is DetailView && View.IsRoot && typeof(User).IsAssignableFrom(View.ObjectType)) {
                _rootDetailView = null;
            }
        }
    }

private void ViewController1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            if (View is DetailView && View.IsRoot && typeof(User).IsAssignableFrom(View.ObjectType)) {
                _rootDetailView = (DetailView)View;
            }
        }

Can not use it.

The _rootDetailView will be NULL,

because the View is User_Roles_ListView. It is not a DetailView and View.IsRoot==false ...
