Need clarification for Errata (pg44) Chapter 2

majikmerlin · July 31st, 2009, 11:45 AM

The Errata for page 44 states this:

Error in Code
The Select() and Select(int id) methods should call the HRPaidTimeOffDataContext that takes a connection string:

using (HRPaidTimeOffDataContext db = new
HRPaidTimeOffDataContext(DBHelper.GetHRPaidTimeOff ConnectionString()))

I am unsure as to where DBHelper.GetHRPaidTimeOffConnectionString() in the 'using' statement has come from? In the context of Chapter 2, I do not recall DBHelper object being mentioned let alone a method called GetHRPaidTimeOffConnectionString().

What's going on here, or am I missing something blatantly obvious because at this point, the errata seems makes things somewhat confusing.

Code:

Yes, I agree with you, majikmerlin.

With respect to the Select() and Select(int id) methods in ENTUserAccountData.cs, I get the following errors:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.GenericList<V2.PaidTimeOffDAL.ENTUserAccountSelectAllResult>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<V2.PaidTimeOffDAL.ENTUserAccount>'

Cannot implicitly convert type 'V2.PaidTimeOffDAL.ENTUserAccountSelectByIdResult' to 'V2.PaidTimeOffDAL.ENTUserAccount>'

I am struck here. Clarification for this errata provided is required ASAP.

Hey Guys , the problem is with the return type of the Auto generated code of the OR/M designer . Try to solve the error by droping the two stored procedures right on the ENTUserAccount table not on the method pane of the .Net OR/M designer and let .Net generate the right method with the appropriate return type
