I have been looking at Dynamic Entities but I'm not sure if they will work how I need them to. Can you create an updateable dynamic entity that is populated from multiple tables? From what I understand so far, to populate a dynamic entity from multiple tables you will have to use a query that joins both tables. Can you do this and still make it persistable?

Also, if I do have to use dynamic entities it will be a bit of a hassle to have to create them at runtime and lose strong typing for accessing the properties. Not a huge deal but will still be a nuisance.

You can't really do this with the Object Mapper, but you can do it with code. There is an advanced tutorial called "336. Dynamic Entities" that shows how to do this. This tutorial also includes documentation from the Developer's Guide on Dynamic Entities.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:13:34 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=5816#5816 Multi-Table Entity : Not sure if this question has... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=5812#5812 Author: ddorival

Not sure if this question has been submitted before but I wasn't able to find it. Is it possible in DevForce classic to create an entity that spans multiple tables? I don't expect that this can be done using the object mapper, but can it be accomplished by manually editing the .orm or the entity class? ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:54:52 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=5812#5812
