I would like to create a custom entity, but have it look like a normal entity. Is there a class I can inherit from that has most of the work done or do I have to figure out all the abstract methods in EntityBase2?

Thanks

All of the Entity classes inherit from CommonEntityBase. What are you trying to achieve with this ?

We have this Entity, AmendmentEntity that is part of a RegistrationEntity. However, when we set up DI for the validation, the AmendmentValidator is never called, whereas a "real" entity's validator is called. So I was thinking that because AmendmentEntity isn't "real" that LLBLGen wasn't calling it all so I want to make the entity more "real".

Please post the DependencyInjectionInfo attibute used for your Validator. Also post your class declaration code.

    /// <summary>
    /// Validator for the AmendmentEntity class
    /// </summary>
    [DependencyInjectionInfo(typeof(AmendmentEntity), "Validator")]
    [Serializable]
    public class AmendmentValidator : RegistrationValidatorBase

Where RegistrationValidationBase inherits from SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.ValidatorBase.

Sorry, attached on older version of AmendmentEntity. New version attached.

Are you planning to use AmendmentEntity for persistence? (i.e. is it going to be mapped onto a table/view) ? If not, you could just create a class and not implement IEntity2: it's a bit unclear why you did implement that interface on this class.

To use the DI functionality, from the constructor, call: DependencyInjectionInfoProviderSingleton.PerformDependencyInjection(this);

so you pass the instance to inject stuff into to the method.
