I'm having difficulty locating the non-generic entity collections so I can bind to some Developer Express Reports.

I've searched through the forums and it appears that you can somehow get the non-generic collections into the toolbox and then drag them onto the form, but i've had no luck with this. If I browse to my compiled entity project DLL I get two options EntityCollection and EntityCollection'1. Both of these are then added as the respective icons. I don't see ProductsEntityCollection, OrdersEntityCollection etc.

In any case because this is a DX Reports project (and not a form), I can't easily drag toolbox items onto the report. Is there a way without using the toolbox to get non-generic collections to appear when using the Data Source Configuration Wizard? I've tried drilling down into the entity collection objects but again I don't see the non-generic collections. Do I need to use a different template (i'm using Adapter) to get these?

Thanks.

Yes, these are generated with SelfServicing only.
