Where are the "DisplayProperties" in the current spec.? #261

Closed genbod closed 11 years ago

genbod commented 11 years ago

I am using an earlier iteration of the spec. that has "DisplayProperties" associated with the Person object. I noticed in the current version there are no more "DisplayProperties". Where did they go and what is the recommendation for how they should now be handled?

Hi.

The DisplayProperties Data Type was identified as an extension for use in Web services. So we put it in the RS specification which is being maintained over here.

That is good to know. I am using the .NET objects that were created from the specification. I have not found anything similar for the rs-specification and looking at the new version for the gedcomx specification I don’t see how you would add ExtensibleData onto a Person object etc. Are there any resources on how that might be done specifically with the .NET objects?

Your question is actually quite timely. We're just about to spin up a new project for .NET development. I'll keep you posted...

That would be great. I am trying to release my app for the store by October and Gedcoms still makes the most sense for my data storage needs.
