What is the equivalent code for Adapter model for

private EntityCollection _AppUserPrefs = new EntityCollection();

return _AppUserPrefs[index].PrefValue;

It says that PrefValue does not exist

_AppUserPrefs[index] needs to be cast to the entity you're looking for in order to gain typed access to the class members as the items are returned as IEntity2 objects. So:

private EntityCollection _AppUserPrefs = new EntityCollection();

return ((AppUserPrefsEntity)_AppUserPrefs[index]).PrefValue;

Hope that helps.

Jeff...

What reference do you need to cast this

return ((AppUserPrefsEntity)_AppUserPrefs[index]).PrefValue;

it says AppUserPrefsEntity reference cannot be found or missing.

is AppUserPrefsEntity a selfservicing entity?

No, it's a type in your generated code project (database generic), please add a using <yournamespace>.EntityClasses; at the top of the file.

I already had that reference, but as you can see from the previus post he said that i had to cast it and PrefValue does not exist in the Adapter model..

How do you rewrite this piece of code?

return _AppUserPrefs[index].PrefValue

Like Jeff explained, cast the entry in the collection to the type of the entity in the collection.

In verbose terms: AppUserPrefsEntity theEntity = (AppUserPrefsEntity)_AppUserPrefs[index]; return theEntity.PrefValue;
