Hooks

ActiveRecordHooksBase

TH:  I think I read somewhere that Interceptors are now the preferred approach over hooks - can someone confirm or deny via editing.  

Sometimes it's necessary to interfere in the process of saving, loading or deletion. In order to do that, simply override the available hooks:

• BeforeSave(IDictionary state)
• BeforeLoad(IDictionary state)
• BeforeDelete(IDictionary state)

Suppose you want to enforce the current date/time when a post is created:

protected override bool BeforeSave(IDictionary state)
{
    state["Created"] = DateTime.Now;
    return true;
}
