    <p>I hope that someone can help me with this problem that I've been having with XmlSerializer. </p> <p>I've already looked through this thread: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/asmxandxml/thread/551cee76-fd80-48f8-ac6b-5c22c234fecf/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/asmxandxml/thread/551cee76-fd80-48f8-ac6b-5c22c234fecf/</a></p> <p>The error I am getting is:</p> <p>System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1). error CS0012: The type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.</p> <p>I've made sure that my unit test has a reference to System.Data.Entity, so it is able to compile at least. I've also in the app.config made an assembly binding to System.Data.Entity.</p> <p>Here's my rough class structure</p> <pre><code>[Serializable] [XmlRoot(Namespace = XmlSupport.MyNamespace, ElementName = XmlSupport.WantToSerialize)] [XmlInclude(typeof(WantToSerializeBaseClass)] [XmlInclude(typeof(EntityObject)] [XmlInclude(typeof(MyEntityObjectSubClass)] public class WantToSerialize : WantToSerializeBaseClass, IXmlSerializable (I've tried putting this on the baseclass and the current class) { // methods and classes // I've included XmlIncludes for all the classes that this class has a reference too // even though in the WriteXml it just uses .NET base classes } </code></pre> <p>The WantToSerializeBaseClass makes use of some generics, but I've decorated it with XmlIncludes for (EntityObject, and any other classes it makes reference to as well).</p> <p>the calling code:</p> <pre><code>var serializerWrite = new XmlSerializer(typeof (WantToSerialize), XmlSupport.ITNNamespace); </code></pre> <p>fails</p> <p>However if I do:</p> <pre><code>var serializerWrite = new XmlSerializer(typeof (WantToSerialize), new Type[] {typeof(EntityObject)}); </code></pre> <p>it is succesfull.</p> <p>Any thoughts would be most helpful.</p> <p><strong>UPDATED</strong> I've tracked the problem down to a method in the WantToSerializeBaseClass</p> <pre><code>public abstract void ConvertFromEntity&lt;TtoCopy&gt;(TtoCopy toCopy) where TtoCopy : MyEntityObjectSubClass; </code></pre> <p>Where MyEntityObjectSubClass is a subclass of EntityObject, that adds a few methods that I want on my entity objects. The MyEntityObjectSubClass looks like this:</p> <pre><code>[Serializable] [XmlInclude(typeof(EntityObject))] public abstract class MyEntityObjectSubClass : EntityObject, IMyEntityObjectSubClass </code></pre> <p>Again any thoughts would be great</p>

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.
