MemberScript vs DataCellPk
Hi,
Is there an easy way to get MemberScript from the DataCellPk? I can see a method called 'GetMemberScript' (what a surprise) on DataCellPk object, but it doesn't work (or I cannot figure out how...

When you first create or retrieve a DataCell object, you're loading it into memory. Modifying the member IDs will not modify the value of the cell, just where the cell will be stored once you eventually save it back to the database (either directly with api.Data.SetDataCell, or adding it to a DataBuffer and then saving that buffer with api.Data.SetDataBuffer).
If your IDs appear readonly, just create a brand new DataCell object passing the old one as parameter, e.g. dim newCell as DataCell = new DataCell(oldCell). That one will be editable. In your case, I think what you want to do is change the view ID, then use api.Data.GetDataCell(yourCellPKwithModifiedID) to retrieve the actual cell you want values for.
Thanks for clarifying this! I needed this for my SaveDataEventHandler logic and in my case it appeared there are some blockers for taking this approach (no access to content of other than the processed NewDataCell, unless I'm wrong...). Anyway, good lesson how to deal with DataCells!
