    <p>I'd like to know if I can add the same class as a knowntype to multiple abstract classes.</p> <p>My problem at the moment is that I have two abstract classes in the same namespace:</p> <p>Let's call this namespace "Thing"</p> <p>I have two abstract classes in Thing, Fruit and Vegetable.</p> <p>Both of these abstract classes are inherited by the two different classes in the same namespace, but have the same name. "Tomato"</p> <p>So I have two declarations:</p> <pre><code>namespace Thing [KnownType(typeof(Tomato))] public abstract class Fruit {} public sealed class Tomato: Fruit{} </code></pre> <p>as well as</p> <pre><code>namespace Thing [KnownType(typeof(Tomato))] public abstract class Vegetable {} public sealed class Tomato: Vegetable{} </code></pre> <p>Type 'Thing.Tomato' cannot be added to list of known types since another type 'Thing.Tomato' with the same data contract name "{datacontractname: Tomato}" is already present.</p> <p>I've refactored the two declarations of Tomato into it's own file and now one single declaration. Now everything will serialize, but when I look at the custom attributes for both abstract classes only one of them will get the knowntype attribute. That class will also be the only one that knows that it has a subclass of Tomato.</p> <p>Edit: I was a bit too hasty with my refactor as I need Tomato to have multiple inheritance. At the moment I've changed namespace Thing to Thing.Fruit and Thing.Vegetable, keeping the multiple declarations. The duplication of code makes me dubious that this is a good solution though.</p>

    1. COYou cannot even have two classes called Tomato in the same namespace...

    2. CORight, I thought that was fishy, since I inherited the code. Since then I've refactored tomato to a single declaration in the namespace.

    3. COCan you show your changed code? Because if you refactored Tomato to a single declaration, doesn't that mean you now only have a single Tomato class?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
