DDS Identity problem
Hi Olga,
As a quick workaround, can you serialize OrgExtended to json and store it as a string in DDS?

Can you also post a definition of OrgExtended class? If OrgExtended is not too complex, perhaps there are better workarounds than JSON.
Do you only need to create / fecth objects by id, or do you want to execute Linq queries as well?

You could try to add the [EPiServerIgnoreDataMember] attribute to OrgExtended.Id but the property name Id might be a special case where it does not work. Another way could be not using the OrgExtended class on your DDS object, but instead use a model class and convert between the two. But I kind of sense that what you would really want is to only store a reference to the OrgExtended (its ID) since the ID indicates it is stored by some other system?

Hi all!
I have a class that I am going to add to DDS:
public class GroupEpi
{
public Identity Id { get; set; }
public OrgExtended Group { get; set; }
}
Identity field is added to to do manipulations with items in DDS object.
Problem is that OrgExtended object also has Id field. When I try to save object to DataStore, I get error:
Property Id must be of type System.Guid or EPiServer.Data.Identity
I cant change OrgExtended object, because its imported from WebService.
Help please!
