Are there any plans to include GetDbCount in EntityCollectionBase or IEntityCollection? The reason I ask is that I'm putting together a list control internally that will generically service collections created by LLBLGen, and as part of this I'm creating a robust paging solution which currently relies on GetDbCount. To keep this generic (and not use reflection), I'd like to use EntityCollectionBase, but it doesn't seem to have GetDbCount.

Any ideas?

I'll add it to IEntityCollection in 1.0.2005.1, if possible.

Awesome! And now the perpetual question that no developer ever wants to answer ( ): any idea when 2005 will be released?

I hope to have a beta mid august (1.0.2005.1), that's not the version with vs.net 2005 features, but with inheritance and type converter support
