LotusScript: db.AllDocuments - Code Regression

Bob Balaban mentioned a change made to the NotesDatabase.AlDocuments code sometime in the past few versions of Notes that kind of gave me a "holy crap" moment. It has to do with deletion stubs if you haven't read his post already.
That all changed sometime in between Notes 5 and Notes 7 (I don't know exactly when, I was off doing other things...), and deletion stubs are no longer stripped out. Now when you want to iterate over all the documents in a database using NotesDatabase.AllDocuments, you have to check each NotesDocument instance with either (both is probably a better choice) the NotesDocument.IsDeleted or .IsValid properties before you try to access the document contents. >> | Read / Add Comments (0) |
