I'm not quite sure what you mean, Simon. I don't see a SetIsReadOnly method anywhere in CSLA. Please explain?

Regards
Michael

Add a SetIsReadOnly() method to the ObjectFactory base class.

the method shown in the change log, but i don't know how to use it.

thank you for reply.

SetIsReadOnly() is in 3.6.2. This method is necessary to create a Fetch() method for a ReadOnlyListBase or NameValueListBase object.

Those objects default to IsReadOnly=true, which means you can't load them with data. So your Fetch() method must set the list to be writable, load the object, then set it to read-only.

This is the same code you'd write in DataPortal_Fetch(), except that IsReadOnly has no public setter, so you need the SetIsReadOnly() helper to alter the property value.

I see.

Thank you and your framework.
