Yeah, the IdeaBlade.Common.EntityModel occupies a sort of limbo between DevForce and IdeaBlade.CAB/Cabana.  It's necessary for IdeaBlade.CAB-based applications, but doesn't depend on any CAB or IdeaBlade.CAB stuff, so it can be moved to a straight DevForce application.
 
If your DevForce application doesn't use CAB, you could try changing your BaseEntity in that model to inherit directly from Entity.  I've never tried this, so I can't guarantee that it would work.

I copied the assembly from the CAB project to the IdeaBlade installation folder.  From the new project, I rebuilt the Model project and received no errors/warnings.  It looks like that is all that I needed to do.]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:42:50 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=586&PID=2139#2139 [ANSWERED] Reusing the Model Project : Bill, is the IdeaBlade.Common.EntityModel... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=586&PID=2138#2138 Author: Linguinut

Bill, is the IdeaBlade.Common.EntityModel part of DevForce?  I do not see it in my installation; however, I am not using the most recent build, either.  Perhaps it is included in the most recent update of DevForce.  If so, then everything should be ok; however, if not, then the dependency within the model project does make it unusable without an overhaul.  For example, the BaseEntity inherits from IdeaBlade.Common.EntityModel.CommonEntity.  The BaseEntity is the entity from which nearly all of my business object inherit.  If I simply add that reference to my project will that be all I need?]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:37:25 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=586&PID=2138#2138 [ANSWERED] Reusing the Model Project : Thank you, Bill.

I don't see why not.  We have tried to keep the model project free of CAB dependencies.  It should depend only on DevForce.

Can I transplant the Model project associated with the CAB/DF application into another application solution?  Will it work without a major overhaul?
