Naming the user object

To save a user object

1. In the User Object painter, select File>Save from the
   menu bar or click the Save button in the painter bar.

   If you have previously saved the user object, PowerBuilder
   saves the new version in the same library and returns you to the
   User Object painter.

   If you have not previously saved the user object,
   PowerBuilder displays the Save User Object dialog box.

2. Enter a name in the User Objects box.

   For naming considerations, see Naming the user object.

3. Enter comments to describe the user object.

   These display in the Select User Object dialog box and in
   the Library painter, and will document the purpose of the user
   object.

4. Specify the library in which to save the user object.

   To make a user object available to all applications, save it
   in a common library and include the library in the library search
   path for each application.

5. Click OK to save the user object.

Validation for .NET Web Service

In the User Object painter for a custom class user object, the
Design menu has .NET Web Service Validation items. If you select a
validation menu item for .NET Web Service to enable validation, a
check displays next to the menu item. When you save the object, you
might see some error messages.
