Problem using IList

Hi

I'm trying to implement List<> in my project, but OA says I must use IList instead. I tested using a Person and Address class. The Person class has an IList of Address objects.

I then came across this situation:
Does using the last version come with any problems down the road?

Also, is it a good idea to include a Person object in class Address so that I can go from Address.Person.whatever in addition to Person.Addresses.whatever?

Hi Dennis Gundersen,

IList<> is an interface and thereby you cannot instantiate it. It just declares what properties / methods should be defined in the classes that implement it. What you should do instead, is to create an instance of a class that implements that interface. In your example, the second line is what you need.
And  yes, in most cases it is useful to have an inverse reference and not only a collection at one of the relation ends. To make sure that your Person.Addresses and Address.Person properties are synchronized (represent the same relation), you should open the Forward mapping wizard, select the addresses field in the treeview and choose the person field in the Inverse Field combobox. Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
