Yeah, I'm using 1.6.1, and according to the documentation, it supports lazy load proxies transparently for IList<T> and IList implementation. As my class implements IList<T> in its base class, I would think this should work, but it's just not the case.
Does anyone know of a work around to this other than the obvious (coding the property to get it's collection from the database on first access).

I wanted to simplify the code a little but then it turns out to be non-generic.

One thing I found is that it does not work for all generic definitions, similar to Tony. Example: // In this example, I'm using Generic to write less code. Say Order's Child can access Order similar to how Asp.NET Page.Controls[0].Page etc. OrderChild /// <summary> /// Simplify Order Children class definition. /// </summary> [Serializable] public class OrderChild : BusinessBase { /// <summary> /// Order /// </summary> protected Order _order = new Order(); /// <summary> /// Get or sets Order /// </summary> public Order Order { get { return _order; } set { _order = value } } } // Then I can do something like this public class OrderLoanInfo : OrderChild { . } public class OrderDeliveryAddress : OrderChild { . } // This confuse the DataMapper and it doesn't know what to do if say I do #_orderLoanInfo.Order.LoanNumber# I have to manually define the order object in every child class.

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?
