I've been playing with templates again.

I'm trying to make a template to make a DTO for a typed view.

Here is a snippet of the template:

public virtual <[If IsNullable]>Nullable<<[TypeOfTypedViewField]>><[Else]><[TypeOfTypedViewField]><[EndIf]> <[TypedViewFieldName]>

And an example of what this will generate:

public virtual Nullable<System.String>System.String PrimaryPhone

As you can see it is adding System.String twice. Maybe I've been staring at this too long but I can't seem to see what is wrong beside the <[Else]> directive being ignored.

Any thoughts? -Luke

Oh... I'm using v2.6.

Could you please attach the whole template?

Here it is.

My new thinking is that the IsNullable only works on entity fields and not if type view fields. Interestingly I tried this:

public virtual <[If IsNullable]>Nullable<<[TypeOfTypedViewField]>><[EndIf]><[If Not IsNullable]><[TypeOfTypedViewField]><[EndIf]><[TypedViewFieldName]> And got the same results.

It indeed only works on entity fields, because view fields are always nullable: the target field is always set to be nullable so the if statement isn't required, it will always be true.
