Is there a enum similar to EntityType for collections?

If there is an enum I can use the following statement to get a collection:

IEntityCollection collection = (IEntityCollection)Activator.CreateInstance(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType(enum.ToString()));

The enum would be passed as parameter to this method. I don't like passing Types as parameters unless I really have to.

Couldn't find any hint in the entity class either.

What version of LLBLGen Pro are you using? .Net version? SelfServicing or Adapter?

Please follow the guidlines mentioned here: http://www.llblgen.com/TinyForum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=7725

Sorry. Just read the guidelines and I must confess I posted to an old thread also yesterday

Alright.

Using latest release of 2.0. Selfservicing. .Net 2.0.

There's no such enum, but you could use the enum value of EntityType, call ToString(), then replace 'Entity' with 'Collection' at the end and use the name to instantiate the type.

You can write your own enum directly in the ContantEnums.cs generated class, inside the following code region: **// __LLBLGENPRO_USER_CODE_REGION_START CustomUserConstants**

Also you can modify the constantsEnums.template to automatically generate this enum for you. I think those lines will do:

<[If HasEntity]>
    /// <summary>
    /// Enum definition for all the entityCollections types
    /// </summary>
    public enum EntityCollectionType:int
    {
                                <[Foreach Entity CommaCrLf]>
        <[CurrentEntityName]>EntityCollection<[NextForeach]>
    }
<[EndIf]>

Thank you guys!
