Please forgive if this is blatantly obvious--just wondering what the "GetDiaryEntriesByDateAsCollection" and "GetDiaryEventsByDateCollection" functions serve?

I Deleted the DiaryEventCollection Class and the DiaryEntryCollection class and removed the above functions and the project seemed to work ok. I was able to save and edit entries and events..they all displayed ok...just curious what these are for?

Kind Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Since I didn't write that chapter I am not 100% sure, but I think these methods are indeed obsolete.

Their implementation returns a simple list with new DiaryEvent objects, but only their ID is set.

However, you could extend these methods to make them a bit more useful. Instead of setting just a simple ID, you can fill the entire DiaryEvent object. Similar code is used in chapters like the BugBase, although there not a custom collection is used, but something like List (Of Bug). But, the principle is the same: you can return strongly typed objects back to the calling code.

Hope this helps,

Imar
