I'm probably not thinking clearly and haven't coded using iBatis in a while, but doesn't it support just the IList interface, not necessary any collection? In this case you may be getting lucky with List<T> simply because that is the default implementation of IList<T>. Of course, I could be way off so you may want to wait until the experts chime in...
_____ From: Tony Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 1:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Generic Lists Hi, I'm struggling with trying to get a custom generic list collection working with IBATIS lazy loading. Basically, if I have a simple object with a simple mapping file that lazy loads a list and that list is defined in my object as a List<T> then things work fine. Eg: class myobject { ... public List<subobject> Children{get... set...} } But as soon as I introduce a new class to take over the list, eg: public class MyList<T> : List<T> { } And then change myobject to use that: class myobject { ... public MyList<subobject> Children{get... set...} } IBATIS no longer lazy loads any data. I'm under the impression that any collection that implements IList or IList<T> will work transparently with lazy loading, yet the MyList<T> class above implements these (albeit in the base class) and it doesn't work. Am I doing something stupid here?
