# clsAppControllerBase.WriteStatus

`WriteStatus` is a public enum nested inside [`clsAppControllerBase`](clsAppControllerBase.md) that gives consuming applications' controller classes a shared, tri-state vocabulary for reporting the outcome of a save/write operation, rather than each consuming controller inventing its own success/failure convention.

## Purpose
- Standardize how consuming controllers report the result of a save/delete/write attempt, so calling code and views can branch consistently on outcome.
- Distinguish an explicit failure from a no-op (nothing changed) versus a successful write, which a plain boolean result could not express.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Core`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Core.Infragistics103` (merged into `SAIF.BOF.Presentation.Web.Infragistics103` NuGet package)
- Declaring type: [`clsAppControllerBase`](clsAppControllerBase.md)

## Values
| Value | Underlying value | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Failure` | `-1` | Indicates the write/save operation did not succeed. |
| `NoChanges` | `0` | Indicates the operation completed but no data was actually modified. |
| `Successful` | `1` | Indicates the write/save operation completed and persisted changes. |

## Behavioral notes
- Declared as `Public Enum WriteStatus As Integer`, so the three members map to explicit negative/zero/positive integer values, allowing callers to test outcome sign (e.g. `< 0` for any failure) if desired*.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Consuming application controllers deriving from `clsAppControllerBase` are expected to return this enum from their own save/write methods to report results consistently across the application.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
