Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has used an EntityCollection as datasource for the Ajax ReorderList. I tried to get it working and it seems that the only way to make it work properly is to create a List<MyEntity> and fill it with the entities from the Collection I want to use. It would appear that the ReorderList is expecting an implementation of IList as datasource. And the EntityCollection doesn't implement that interface.

t.i.a.

You may use the CopyTo() method of the entityCollection to copy it to an Array (which implements IList).

Maybe it would be nice to have an overload that expects a generic list.

EntityCollection does implement IList, check with reflector or the sourcecode

Collections are bound through an entityview(2), which also implements IList.

that's odd...... When I manually create a List<MyEntity> the ReOrderList works fine, but when I directly ssign a collection as datasource it doesn't.

any ideas what can cause this? I could create a testcase, but it will take me some time...

EntityCollection classes inherits from IBindingList which inherits from IList.

Maybe it would be nice to have an overload that expects a generic list.

Here is another one => use the GetList() method of the entityCollection, which returns IList.
