Hi,

Wanted to migrate from 2.6 to 4.0, followed all the steps https://www.llblgen.com/pages/ListAdditionalDownloads.aspx#4

and got .llblgenproj file, generated the code but now AnEntity.Field[0].CancelEdit() does not exist, I can try using Field.CancelEdit() which still exists but is there any other good alternative I can use?

Thanks Shekhar

Hi Shekhar,

Some refactoring has been made on v4. Now, to do that, you should cast to IEditableObject, something like:

((IEditableObject)AnEntity.Fields[0]).CancelEdit();

Also, it would be wise to read the Migration Guide, in case that your code face some breaking changes.

Hi David, I will go through the guide.

I tried your suggestion but could not cast, got this error

((IEditableObject)AnEntity.Fields[0]).CancelEdit();

Unable to cast object of type 'SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.EntityField2' to type 'System.ComponentModel.IEditableObject'.

Thanks Shekhar

I see. Shouldn't it be like:

(IEditableObject)AnEntity).CancelEdit();

?

Indeed, call CancelEdit on the entity, as that object is edited, not the field.

We implemented IEditableObject explicitly in v3 (and onwards), to make the public interface smaller. It's not an interface you should use in your own code btw, it's meant for databinding.

Is there any way to get to the entity from the field object ? I wanted to use extension method to fix this otherwise will have to change every single file.

Thanks Shekhar

No.

Thanks.
