I'm working on a mod to the CSLA templates to work better with parent/child relationships.  I'm trying to connect them together using the Tags - but I'm running into some access problems.

I have a tag for a parent object that defines a comma seperated list of child entities.  I'm using the following code to do this:

Protected ChildNameList As New List(Of String)

...

If _Entity.Tags("Child").Value <> "" Then

    Dim childSeparators() As Char  = {","c, " "c}

    Dim childSplit As String() = _Entity.Tags("Child").Value.Split(childSeparators)

    For Each child As String In childSplit

        If child <> "" Then

        ChildNameList.Add(child)

        ChildEntityList.Add(_Project.BusinessEntities.FindByEntity(child))

        End If

    Next child

End If

This appears to work fine. Iterating ChildNameList is fine, and it appears that iterating ChildEntityList is as well, until you try to reference something like

ChildEntityList(0).EntityName, then it gives an "Error(s) in code template. ..."

Any ideas what might be wrong.

Wow - sorry about the formating on this post - it was cut/paste code thta looked fine in the editor!

Nevermind, I had a spelling error in one of my entity names.

Yep, when it finds the entity by a string name, it will blow up b/c it does not exist.  Good find. :P
