vs2010,llblgen 2.6,c#,adapter

Want to return an enitycollection as the model used by the view but i cannot get it working.


        public ActionResult news()
        {
            ViewData["Title"] = "News";

            EntityCollection<TblNewsEntity> oNews = new EntityCollection<TblNewsEntity>();
            NewsDB oBLNews = new NewsDB();

            oNews = oBLNews.GetNews(null).ToList();//doeesn't work
            oNews = oBLNews.GetNews(null);//doeesn't work

            return View(oNews);
        }

What should i do to get it working...

I don't have much experience with MVC. Could you tell me, What does GetNews() do? What's the return type?

I guess you mean having EntityCollection as a ModelBinder compatible. Would this thread be helpful to you: http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=17504
