Hello Experts, Is it possible to get an entity from a typed list or a typed view?

Ex:
    Generated TypedList:  OrderTypedList

and from there I want to get an OrderEntity from OrderTypedList somewhat like:

OrderEntity order = new OrderEntity(); OrderTypedList orderList = FindAllOrderTypedList(); -> method that will return a fetched list from database

now, order = orderList[0] as OrderEntity;

How possible it is to get an OrderEntity from a list?Or is there a method that will convert a typed list row into a specific entity?

Thanks,

typedlists are meant to contain aggregated, read-only, data. if you want to work with an order in a read write fashion you should load the order from the database or build a conversion routine yourself.

public class OderTypedListToOrderEntityMapper
{
      public OrderEntity MapFrom(OrderTypedListRow item)
      {
              OrderEntity order = new OrderEntity();
              order.IsNew = false;
              foreach(IEntityField2 field in order.fields)
              {
                    order.SetCurrentFieldValue(field.Name, row[field.Name]);
              }
              return order;
      }
}

this assumes the typedlist fields match the order fields. If they do not then you will have to manually map the fields.

Perhaps it would be nice to have an option in the designer where one could say: this typed list has all the data for XY entity (IOW result are those entities) and I want to see the result as entities.

Isnt that where projections are for?
