ProduceTopologyOrderedList in ObjectGraphUtils returns a List of the same type as entityToExamine.

public List<TEntity> ProduceTopologyOrderedList<TEntity>(TEntity entityToExamine, out List<Type> orderedTypes)

Shouldn't this be List<IEntityCore> or something like that. Calling the method now results in an invalid cast exception when entityToExamine has instantiated related entities.

Added example:

var customer = new CustomerEntity();
customer.Company = new CompanyEntity();
var entities = new ObjectGraphUtils().ProduceTopologyOrderedList(customer, out var types);

Unable to cast object of type 'MyDomain.EntityClasses.CompanyEntity' to type 'MyDomain.EntityClasses.CustomerEntity'.

Please try the following:

var customer = new CustomerEntity();
customer.Company = new CompanyEntity();
var entities = new ObjectGraphUtils().ProduceTopologyOrderedList((IEntityCore)customer, out var types);

Indeed. The generic argument is mainly there to re-use the code between selfservicing and adapter. It would have been better if the return type was specified as a separate generic argument, agreed. But casting to IEntityCore should work.

I can live with that ;-) Thanks both.
