IObjectScope.Extent problem

[David]

Hi,

  I have downloaded the sample application available here http://blogs.telerik.com/atanaskorchev/posts/09-01-16/ASP_NET_Ajax_Controls_in_ASP_NET_MVC_-_Announcing_the_sample_application.aspx. The projects in there were referencing Telerik.OpenAccess but for some reason it wasn't available in the projects. So I downloaded Open access and referenced the appropriate library.

This worked but then I have now come across the following problem in file "..\Telerik.Mvc.Providers\OpenAccessMembershipProvider.cs" where "Extent" in scope.Extent isn't recognised.

using (var scope = MembershipDatabase.GetObjectScope())
            {
                //Get the user whith the same user name
                var user = (from u in scope.Extent<User>()
                            where u.UserName == username
                            select u).FirstOrDefault();

                scope.Transaction.Begin();
                //Update his password and push the changes to the database
                user.PasswordHash = HashString(newPassword);
                scope.Transaction.Commit();
                return true;
            }

What is the issue here?

Regards,

David

Hi David,
Extent is an .NET 3.5 extension method to the scope, it is only available if you have a reference to the Telerik.OpenAccess.35.extensions dll and if you have a "using Telerik.OpenAccess" in that file.

Hi Jan,

I am indeed using Telerik.OpenAccess and wiring things up "properly". The only thing is that I don't know if I'm using the 3.5 version. In fact, I downloaded the OpenAccess components today which might mean that I haven't got the 3.5 version. Should that be the case, what can/should I do to get things to work?

Regards,

David

Hello David,
The download works with all .NET versions 2.0 or greater.

Maybe you should use IObjectScope instead of var in the using statment.

Well, that shouldn't matter but just to move the process forward, I did. I'm still encountering the same problem.

I've attached a screenshot of the code, which incidentally has been supplied by Telerik, and as you can see, I'm referencing Telerik.OpenAccess but that scope.Extent isn't recognised. When I look in Object Browser in Visual studio, there is no method or property called "Extent".

Hi David,
To use Linq you have to say "using System.Linq" as well. And you have to be sure that your project is a real .NET 3.5 or 4.0 project.
