When using Generated templates, all of my classes are missing the "System.Xml.Serialization" using statement. Is there any way to correct this? Each time I rebuild the generated files, I have to add it to about 40 files, so it's a bit of a pain!

Thanks.

Edit: I am using MyGeneration 1.2 and ES 2008.

Do I win a prize?

I am using C#.Net, Vista DB 3.3, MyGeneration 1.2, Visual Studios 2008, Windows Vista 64.

I have 3 template instances:

• Custom.Tables
• Generated.Tables
• Proxy.Tables

The error occurs in the Generated.Tables tab.

I have the following advanced options selected:

• Generate a single file
• Should ignore schema
• Should ignore catalog
• Generate hierarchial model
• Target the compact framework

I have the following options selected under proxy:

• Generate the proxy/stub
• Include Added/deleted/modified, etc

I have already generated the template instance once without the proxy/stub - could that be the issue? I then added the check boxes on the proxy options and I get that missing using statement.

I'm not sure how the template generation works, but if you need me to do any further investigation, just say and I'll do my best to help. I also had this issue on a completely different project (with the same settings and program configuration) on a different computer in a different office, but that only has 10 tables, so it wasn't much of an issue.

I've just created a new template instance of Generated.Tables (called Test.Tables) with the proxy stub options selected and it is still missing the reference. So, bang goes my theory - I'll leave it in your capable hands.

It's the Compact Framework checkbox. About line 233 of "Entityspaces - esCollection (C#)"
