I have upgraded from 1.1 to 2.0 and I am now using VS2005 rather than VB.NET 2003

I had the following custom code in my entity:

Public Overrides Property durationofstay() As Integer
    Get
        Return MyBase.DurationOfStay
    End Get
    Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
        'If Me.CheckOut <> Me.CheckIn.AddDays(Value) Then
        If Value > 0 Then
            Me.CheckOut = Me.CheckIn.AddDays(Value)
            MyBase.DurationOfStay = Value
            Me.AmendNightRoomRates()
        Else
            MyBase.DurationOfStay = 0
        End If

        'End If

    End Set
End Property

Now if I paste that into my new project, I get the error property 'durationofstay' cannot be declared 'Overrides' because it does not override a property in a base class.

I have tried looking through the help files and doing searches and I didn't find much other than I can't add my own custom code areas which was one thought I had...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

James

I think this is a casing problem.

'durationofstay'

isn't equal to the name generated in the entity, as entity field names never start with a lowercase character. Perhaps the vb.net 2005 compiler got more strict in this. Could you check that for me please?

If I change it to DurationOfStay it gives me the same message. The following generated code is in the same source file I put my bit into...

Public Overridable Property [DurationOfStay]() As System.Int32
    Get
        Dim valueToReturn As Object = MyBase.GetCurrentFieldValue(CType(BookingDetailFieldIndex.DurationOfStay, Integer))
        If valueToReturn Is Nothing Then
            valueToReturn = TypeDefaultValue.GetDefaultValue(GetType(System.Int32))
        End If
        Return CType(valueToReturn, System.Int32)
    End Get
    Set
        SetNewFieldValue(CType(BookingDetailFieldIndex.DurationOfStay, Integer), value)
    End Set
End Property

I also get the error 'Public Overridable Property DurationOfStay() As Integer' has multiple definitions with identical signatures against this section of code.

Selfservicing? If so, add your own code to the base class of the generated entity base class, i.e. in the 2-class scenario's derived entity class.

How did this work in the v1.0.2005.1 version? I mean: also there you couldn't possibly be having the generated entity field property and your own code in the same class as you can't override a property in the same class of course.

I generated my code using SD.Presets.SelfServicing.General2005 instead of SD.Presets.SelfServicing.TwoClasses2005 - thanks for your help Otis, much appreciated.
