As I have a number of Enum's that I wanted to be used in database fields, I thought I'd create a generic version of the TypeConverter described at http://llblgen.com/TinyForum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=7355

I then create a concrete version of the class for each enumeration I want to work with, such as

public class UserCreateStatusTypeConverter : EnumTypeConverter<UserCreateStatus> {

}

LLBLGen doesn't seem to pick up this type (with the intermediate generic EnumTypeConverter class), but it picks up a non-generic converter class that derives directly from the TypeConverter fine. Is there any way to get it to do so?

Cheers

It does a search for types which derive from the base class TypeConverter, and uses all types which do. Apparently generic types aren't reported by the reflection although I have no idea why. Perhaps our discovery routine is flawed in that it doesn't pick up types which derive indirectly from typeconverter. I'll check it out.

It's a bug in the type converter discovery routine: when it runs into a generic type converter, it gets an exception when it creates an instance of the type converter, as the generic type parameter (<T> )isn't specified obviously. It should ignore these type converter classes. As it gets an exception, it ignores the assembly and moves on. The exception isn't shown as it is of no use to the user.

Fixed in next build of v2.5

Great, Thanks Otis!

How do I get hold of the latest build? Do you release this on the main downloads page?

Cheers
