    OA throws this exception (I think this is some reflection and constructor-related problem) when I build that code:

    public class Persisted  
    {  
        protected Guid id;  
        protected int version;  
    }  
     
    [Serializable]  
    [Persistent(IdentityField = "_id", VersionField = "_version")]  
    public class A : Persisted  
    {  
        private string name;  
        ....  
    } 

    I want to create a base class for my DAL classes (to call a method to fill the lazy fields before serializing). 

    How can I do that?

    Thanx!

    Hi NemFontos,
    You have to mark the base class also as persistent and map it 'horizontal' in the forward mapping dialog.

    We will make the exception a líttle more readable.

    Hi Jan,

    thank you, but I don't need to persist the base class, I'm just need it to provide common functionality and the "version" field.

    As you see on the other thread (telerik.com/community/forums/orm/general-discussions/objectnetworkattacher-vs-datacontractserializer.aspx) I have problem with the lazy "version" value.

    To avoid lazy loading, I can define the "version"  field in my base class and call it before serializing:

    [OnSerializing]  
    protected void BeforeSerialize(StreamingContext ctx)  
    {  
         int tmp = Version;  
    } 

    Sorry if I'm too lame and can't understand something very trivial.

    Thanx in advance,

    NemFontos

    Hi NemFontos,
    We can only store data in fields of an persistent class. If the base class is not marked as persistent we will not store the content of the id and version field. In your case the id and version field is not stored, which produces the weird exception.
