Adding new rooms/topics and immediately getting ID back

Vote:

See code below:

Topic relateTopic = new Topic(currentPage.GetForumRoom(), topic.Title, topic.Body, new UserAuthor(CurrentCommunityUser));
ForumHandler.Instance.AddTopic(relateTopic);

return RedirectToAction("ViewTopic", new { id = relateTopic.ID });

------------------

In the above, the relateTopic.ID is always -1. How do I immediately get the newly created topic ID back so I can take some further action with it?

Hi Shawn,

According to the SDK this is how it is suppose to be done, the AddTopic method takes a topic and persists it in the database. However I see that you do not use the return value from AddTopic and assign it to your created topic:

relateTopic = ForumHandler.Instance.AddTopic(relateTopic);
