Hi,

Override in your entity, GetProperties. First call the base method. This will give you property descriptors in a PropertyDescriptorCollection (it's ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties). You then should add a property descriptor for your field. You can use EntityPropertyDescriptor (or EntityPropertyDescriptor2) for that. It's a bit complex, but I think it's doable.

Can I still do this with LLBLGen 2.5? I can't see the GetProperties method.

Basically I would like to add some virtual fields at runtime. These should appear in a datagrid via data binding. The getter and setter for the different virtual properties should all be handled by two methods if possible. For example something like this: object GetVirtualValue(String propertyName) void SetVirtualValue(string propertyName, object value)

Is there any way to do this and if yes how would I do this please?

Thank you,

Patrick

This has been moved to the EntityView(2) classes. So you should derive a class from EntityView2 and override GetEntityFieldPropertyDescriptors().

Please check the sourcecode in EntityView2<T> for details. It basicly gets you the properties for the type at hand, so you simply append the property descriptors you want to show as well. That's basicly it

Then in your code, you use the derived class as the EntityView2<T> instead of the EntityView2<T> class.
