Hi,

Is it possible to get an entitycollection (self servicing) to get only pre-selected columns from the table? Maybe in a manner that the omitted columns are left null in the entities.

I know it's possible with a typed list, but I need it to be read/writeable.

Thanks,

Roland

with 2.0 you need to use projection to fill a collection with a subset of fields. see the documentation for more information.

in 2.5 (beta) there is an exclude feature which allows you to fill a collection with a subset of fields. I just read another post by Otis which sounds like there will be modifications to this feature before final release.

See v2.5 beta.

In v. 2.5 beta, you can pass a List<EntityField> to the fetch method, to be execluded from the fetch.

In v.2.0 you may fetch a dynamicList of the needed fields and project the result it to an entityCollection.
