I'm working on an integration project, and I was wondering if there was a way to track if a user's information changed. Most notably if the addresses changed. I saw the IsDirty property, but I wasn't sure if it correctly applied. My integration code is to be executed at the end of the CheckedOut method in the OnePageCheckout.acsx.cs file.

The user object class does not have any fields for date-added or date-modified. Nor does the addresses table. Your only option would be to create an SQL trigger on ac_Users and ac_Addresses so you can maintain the add/edit status of a each record in a separate table. Or if you have full source, just modify the base object classes and add your own date-added/date-modified fields.

The IsDirty() flag is only used internally by the database engine and only for a specific instance of the object itself. Once a specific instance of an object is saved back to disk, IsDirty() flag for that object instance is reset to false. I wouldn't recommend relying on it to determine if changes were made to address or user objects as a whole.
