Hi,

I've migrated my source from v5.3 to v5.4, but i've a problem with compiling the new source. I've followed the breaking changes section in Documentation/Designer/BreakingChanges.htm but i have still a compiling problem.

The boolean EntityCore.LLBLGenProIsSubType() isn't there anymore. I have a general routine which gives the name of the SuperType back by the following code:

public string SuperTypeEntityName
        {
            get
            {
                if (this.LLBLGenProIsSubType)
                {
                    IInheritanceInfo inheritanceInfo = ModelInfoProviderSingleton.GetInstance().GetInheritanceInfo(this.GetType().Name, true);
                    return inheritanceInfo.SuperTypeEntityName.Replace("Entity", "");
                }
                else

                return this.EntityName;
            }
        }

To which code can i change this?

Use this.GetEntityStaticMetaData().IsSubType instead.

Sorry for not documenting this. We'll add it to the breaking changes.

You attached a screenshot about another problem. That problem has been resolved?

Thanks, but you mean: this.GetEntityStaticMetaData() as a method? The return type has no property or method IsSubType...

I've removed the attached screenshot, that probem is solved :-)

Oh my mistake... that whole type is internal... Sorry I didn't check that.

This should do the trick:

public string SuperTypeEntityName
{
    get
    {
        IInheritanceInfo inheritanceInfo = ModelInfoProviderSingleton.GetInstance().GetInheritanceInfo(this.GetType().Name, true);
        if(inheritanceInfo==null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(inheritanceInfo.SuperTypeEntityName))
        {
            return this.EntityName;
        }
        return inheritanceInfo.SuperTypeEntityName.Replace("Entity", "");
    }
}

the GetInheritanceInfo() call is basically O(1) as it does a lookup first, so non-inheritance entities won't be slow here. The inheritance info is static data so the isnullorempty won't be slow here either.

Thanks!

I've got a little other thing:

The breaking changes say:

public List<IEntityRelation> GetAllRelations()
        {
            return GetEntityStaticMetaData().GetAllRelations();
        }

but i need to use

public new List<IEntityRelation> GetAllRelations()
        {
            return GetEntityStaticMetaData().GetAllRelations();
        }

otherwise i get an error about: 'hides inherited member....' Do i have to use the keyword 'new'?

Ah that's a typo. Your method should simply be named differently and call this.GetAllRelations(). But you don't have to, you can simply use IEntityCore.GetAllRelations(), and it will return all relations of the entity.

so in short:

var allRelations = ((IEntityCore)myCustomer).GetAllRelations();

Will update the docs.
