I  recently tried adding an inherited class into our inheritance hierarchy of Entities.  Previously we had this:

VersionClassDataRow – which declares column “RowVers” for concurrency

VersionClass – which has some functionality on RowVers

AnatomyDataRow (just as an example)

Anatomy

This changed to this: 

VersionClassDataRow – which declares row “RowVers” for concurrency

VersionClass

RTObjectEntityBaseDataRow

RTObjectEntityBase – which has some additional functionality for my project, but no new columns

AnatomyDataRow

Anatomy 

Now when I look at RTObjectEntity, it says RowVers is inherited, but when I look at Anatomy, it no longer says that RowVers is inherited.  I get compiler warnings about this, and I can’t make DevForce understand that it should inherit the RowVers still.  It’s like the ORM tool is only looking one inheritance level up to determine this information.

Is this a DevForce bug?  I don’t see any immediate impact (my unit tests for Anatomy still SEEM to function properly) but I’m concerned that this is not how it should work.

Employee -> EmployeeBase -> CrtnMod

In the OM, I went to the Anatomy class, changed the Base Class to “None”, clicked onto another field to accept the change. Then went to Base Class and reassigned the RTObjectEntityBase. Then when I clicked on the Simple Properties tab the RowVers now displays it is inherited.

Very strange … but that should fix up your .orm file. I don’t think (???) the above will have any impact on your existing set of classes other than removing that compilation warning.

Not sure what might have caused that to happen.
