High - we're evaluating the product and so far have only a few complaints.  One of them is as follows.  I'll post the other's separately. 

Is there an easy way to add an group of entity objects to a collection?  I want to do something like the following

Dim col as new bpSecondParentCollection

for each filter as bpPostFilter in postFilters

col.add(filter.upToFirstParent.UpToSecondParent)

end for

return col

Seems like this would be fairly straight forward.  Before you suggest it, I do not want to use AddNew, as this is collection is not meant to be updated

Hi

You can use the xxxCollection.Combine(yyyCollection) method for that - so in your example:

col.Combine(filter.upToFirstParent.UpToSecondParent)

should do the trick

For individual entities, you can also use the collection's AttachEntity/DetachEntity methods.

OrdersCollection filter = new OrdersCollection();
filter.Query.Where(filter.Query.CustomerID.Like("A%"));
filter.Query.Load();

EmployeesCollection collection = new EmployeesCollection();

foreach (Orders ord in filter)
{
    if (collection.FindByPrimaryKey(
        ord.UpToEmployeesByEmployeeID.EmployeeID.Value) == null)
    {
        collection.AttachEntity(ord.UpToEmployeesByEmployeeID);
    }
}
