I know we can provide specific entity type to the collection, what I am trying to do is to create a method which has a parameter of EntityCollection<>, something like following

private void Test(EntityCollection<T> gen)

so that I can make it generic and cast it to different types. How can we do this in LLBLGen? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You can use the interface (IEntityCollection) to represent an unknown type.

hi I don't exactly know what you mean. Shell I do something like EntityCollection<IEntityCollection> ? Thanks.

private void Test(IEntityCollection coll)

You should then be able to pass any entity collection to it

alright I think what you meant is to use IEntityCollection2

this signature will work fine:

private void Test(IEntityCollection2 coll)

what's the difference between the two? i've been noticing that we have a bunch of xxxx2's in the project, for example IEntity2, EntityBase2 and this IEntityCollection2.

Anyways my problem has been solved. Thank you very much

Anything with a 2 on the end is Adapter specific, anything without is generic or SelfServicing only.

Glad it's working.
