Would it possible to make the FastAdd method of EntityCollectionBase public? When working with very large collections the if(List.Contains(entityToAdd))... code called in the _ Add_ method makes it very slow to work with (takes approx 1/2 a second to add a single entity to a collection with 50k items).

I am restricted to using the release builds, and so can not easily change the code myself.

Hi, there. Set EntityCollection.DoNotPerformAddIfPresent = False. This will disable the Contains() call when manually adding entities.

Jeff...

DoNotPerformAddIfPresent does not seem to exist in the selfservice collections. Am i missing it, or is there a reason for this?

FastAdd is now internal, I'll make it public in the next upgrade.
