Hi all,

These questions may have been asked before...but I was interested to know how to generate "Manager classes" from my LLBLGen Entities.

I have downloaded the following "Manager Templates":

EntityManagerBaseTemplate.lpt EntityManagerTemplate.lpt EntityManagerTestSuiteBaseTemplate.lpt ManagerBaseTemplate.lpt ManagerTestSuitBaseTemplate.lpt PrefectPathElementCollectionTemplate.lpt

I have also downloaded the SDK and Template Studio.

Once I open up my project (*.lgp) using Template Studio, what templates listed above do I need to load? What does each one do? Do I need to do any modifications to each to suit my project needs? Where should these templates reside on my file system?

I'm new at all of this, so any help that you can provide would be really appreciated. Great product by the way

Regards, David

You should pick the new generator config you get in the drop down at the top of the code generation form in the designer and then teh custom C# templateset, and the templates should work. You have to download the complete template folder and store that in teh llblgen pro folder (it contains drivers/taskperformers folders so it will place the files in the right folders)

I am a newb when it comes to templates. I have scanned these forums regarding using the manager templates without any luck. Here is what I have tried:

Downloaded and add the files as follows: --> Manager.Template.templatebindings in Templates folder. --> *.lpt files in the Templates\Gallery folder --> Manager.Templates.tasks file in the Tasks Folder.

Then I attempted to Generate as follows: --> Hit F7 to get to start the code gen process, selected C#, .Net 2.0, Adapter --> Clicked on "Task Queue to execute" window --> Added the "Manager Templates" tasks -- Clicked on Start Generator

It breaks with the following error: Task: 'SD.Tasks.Adapter.EntityCollectionClassGenerator' aborted process.

Here are the exception details:

Please help me through this as I am lost.

Would you please create a new thread, rather than using an old one? Posting Guidelines: http://www.llblgen.com/TinyForum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=7723 I'll close this thread. Thanks.
