Converting Business Object

[admin@secsol.co.uk]

HI,

I have a BusinessObject in my data sources and in a user defined function (C#) I am trying to convert the business object back to its original type using this code :

Code: Select all

System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Cypher1.EstimateSection> FullSectionList = SelectedEstimate.FullSectionList as System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Cypher1.EstimateSection>;

but I get the following error saying that the BusinessObject cannot be converted to a Collection<>

The error of compilation is found in the 'Schedule Of Rates Detailed' report: Compilation error: Cannot convert type 'Reports.Report.SelectedEstimateBusinessObject.FullSectionListBusinessObject' to 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection' via a reference conversion, boxing conversion, unboxing conversion, wrapping conversion, or null type conversion

What have I done wrong?

Hi, I have attached a sample project that shows the problem.

If you run the program and load the Report.mrt file then click the Preview you will see the error.

Hello,

Please use the following code for a custom function:

Code: Select all

TestItem SelectedItem = null;

System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<TestItem> TestItemList = TestList.Current as System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<TestItem>;

foreach(TestItem TItem in TestItemList)
{
  if(TItem.Recno == recno)
  {
    SelectedItem = TItem;
    break;
  }
}

return SelectedItem;

Thank you.
