Hi:

I have a  function that uses a generic collection as a parameter and the type of the XpObject to retrieve. :

public void Search(Type Tipo, XPCollection Collection)  (This serach function must work with all kind of objects so i use a generic collection into it)

When i use into a form with visual insertion of the collection and setting this propertyes of ObjectClassInfo to Tipo the Functions works (i can see this code in the designer Collection.ObjectType= typeof(Objectype)

but i i work in code:

XPCollection Collection = new XPCollection()

Search (typeof(Objecttype),XPCollection Collection)

The function gives an error because the type of the collection is empty ( i try to add an ObjectType cast to XPBaseObject to the collection) If i do

Collection.ObjecType = typeof(Objectype)    prior to calling search i get an error that says "Cannot change the ObjectType property when XPCollection is not in design or initialization mode.

Any idea in how can i can do this?

You may try using type(ObjectType) as a parameter in new XPCollection.

Mohsen:

It works. I usually define the collection as XpCollection<Type> and this don't work with generic collections. if i use new XPColection(session, Type) it works.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Glad it helped you.
