Hi,

I have not done any real work with CSLA 3.X, and just recently started to work with 3.6.

I have read a few posts on this forum suggesting that at some point it was possible to use the following:

LoadProperty<T,S>(var1, var2);

Also, the CodeSmith templates on CSLAContrib generate that kind of code.

Now, moving on to 3.6, this construct doesn't seem to be allowed anymore.

Am I correct about this change ?

Thank you.

The Set/Get/Load/ReadProperty() method signatures did change a little bit, so type inference works.

The big change is that the LoadProperty<P,F>() overloads are now renamed to LoadPropertyConvert<P,F>() to eliminate ambiguity.

This means you can do:

LoadProperty(NameProperty, "Fred")

and the compiler will resolve the type parameters for you. But you still need to provide the type parameters for LoadPropertyConvert().

Thanks Rocky,

This is what I get when I work late on a Sunday night...

After posting, I found the change in the changelog for 3.6, but the delay for post deletion had expired Big Smile [:D]

I have modified the CSLAContrib CodeSmith templates to reflect that change.

On a related note, do you happen to know if Rick Supit is still actively working on those templates ? I'd be glad to give him a hand, but I've tried to e-mail him with no success.

Regards.
