System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable - linq

when trying to query my database with entityframework i get the following error:
The navigation property of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable1[[TASK.Warehouses.Domain.NoteProducts.NoteProduct, TASK.Warehouses.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]' is not a single implementation of 'System.Collections.Generic.ICollection1[T]'.
what could be the problem and how could i fix it

You wrote Code-First classes that have IEnumerable<T> navigation properties.
Entity Framework requires that your navigation properties be of type ICollection<T>.

Sounds like you have many classes named "TASK.Warehouses.Domain.NoteProducts.NoteProduct, , TASK.Warehouses.Domain]. If this is the case, you are confusing CLR with violations of OO.

Use custom model binder from different assembly and instantiate object from same

I have a class library which includes a custom MVC model binder to instantiate various concrete types which derive from an abstract class. The model binder is almost identical to the one described in this post.
It works fine when using it from within the same Visual Studio Solution that also includes an MVC web application for testing.
My problem is that having created a nuget package from the assembly and included it in a totally separate MVC application the model binder no longer works, despite having configured it correctly in Global.asax.cs.
After some hair pulling I recreated the model binder directly in the separate MVC app, and as I was doing so I noticed that the overridden CreateModel() method in the binder is protected. It now gets executed and I suspect the protected keyword has something to do with it but I would like someone to explain why exactly.
Even with the 'local' modelbinder there are more problems. When it executes, and tries to instantiate the concrete object, I get an exception Could not load type XXXX from assembly { separate MVC project assembly name} so it seems the model binder is unable to load types from outside its own assembly.
Can anyone give me more information on why this happens and what I can do to work around it? Bearing in mind I need the model binder and models to reside in the class library not in the MVC assembly.
I had the same problem as you did, binding to models in a different assembly, but I needed a different solution. I used the same model binding example that you linked to, and I also got the same exception: Could not load type XXXX from assembly
I ended up needing to use the AssemblyQualifiedName for each concrete type. So my views contain this:
#Html.Hidden("ModelType", Model.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName)
Instead of this:
#Html.Hidden("ModelType", Model.GetType())
I'm still wondering why this was necessary, since the default model binder can load types from the assembly in question.
OK so I was being stupid. It turns out that a few assumptions led me on a wild goose chase.
The ModelBinder was executing correctly to start with. My viewmodel had nested properties which were also abstract base types and required the model binder but I hadn't put the hidden fields in the view to identify their concrete type, nor had I added them to the Global.asax configuration. Once I did this everything started to work as expected.

Error with Strongly Typed Entity Framework Object in Razor View

Creating the razor view with strongly typed of Entity Framework generated POCO gives the below error.
The type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
However i added System.Data, System.Data.Entity dlls into my MVC 3 project.
In case if i use ViewModel object instead of EF Created POCO it is not showing error.
What is the problem of binding Entity Framework object in Razor View?
Edit: Reading Using Entity Model Object in ASP.Net MVC View Page is not helping me. What could i do here, Do i need to create another ViewModel for each POCO?
Try adding
<add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
To the <system.web> section of your web.config

Unable to serialize the session state, which is related to System.Data.Linq. EntitySet

Recently I am playing with the Windows Server 2008,
and would like to make some configuration for my web application.
I have changed the Session State for my application to "State Server" so it can make use of more work process (Now it is set to 4).
Afterwards I have got this error when I attempt to login to the application.
Unable to serialize the session state. In 'StateServer' and 'SQLServer' mode, ASP.NET will serialize the session state objects, and as a result non-serializable objects or MarshalByRef objects are not permitted. The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode.
I suspect it is related to the EntitySet I have declared because I see this in the Stack Trace when the error occur:
[SerializationException: Type
'System.Data.Linq.EntityRef`1[[CtcSystem.Domain.Entities.Account.Account,
CtcSystem.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null]]' in Assembly 'System.Data.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as
serializable.]
I have used [Serializable] tag on my classes,
so is there any way I have to do to make the EntitySet serializable so that the application can run under State Server?
Thanks
Best way is to implement the ISerializable interface on a partial class...

System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations MethodAccessException in Automated Controller Unit Test, MVC

First of all I'd like to say that I wouldn't doubt if this is a configuration error, because it's only happening on our CI build server and not on anyone's local development machine. So if anyone has a seemingly obvious configuration suggestion please feel free to point it out, my team doesn't configure the build server so there could be something simply not set up correctly.
I'm running into an issue with one of my automated tests, I'm having this issue in any test that involves the (System.ComponentModel.)DataAnnotations on the Entity that is being used. It seems to only occur with any test that involves the Controller calling TryUpdateModel.
Before I provide the entire error message, here’s a list of some of the things we’ve already tried:
Adding the main MVC assemblies to the “fullTrustAssemblies” section of the app.config of the Test project
Adding the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations assembly to the “partialTrustVisibleAssemblies” section of the app.config of the Test project
Adding the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations assembly to the AppDomainSetup PartialTrustVisibleAssemblies in code
Trying to use ReflectionPermission.Demand to see if there was a problem with permissions
Ensuring that .NET Framework 4 and MVC3 were installed on the machine
Checking for the registry key(s) talked about in this article
Here's the full error:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I Fixed the problem !
This is a combination of running in Medium Trust, having MVC installed in the GAC and using "dynamic" (or a shape) as a ViewModel. Only (and only if) these 3 conditions are true you run into this error. The solution is to change your controller code: instead of returning "View(model)", return "View((object)model)".

Why do I need nhibernate.dll referenced in my asp.net mvc project?

All my data logic is in another data layer project that I reference in my asp.net mvc project.
Now if I call:
CategoryDAO.GetById(1);
Everything works fine.
If I call:
CategoryDAO.GetBlah(1);
VS.NET complains saying
"Error 102: The type 'NHibernate.Criterion.Order' is defined in an assembly
that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'NHibernate,
Version=2.1.2.4000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa95f207798dfdb4'."
If I add nhibernate.dll as a reference in my web project, it works.
Why is this? The logic/code is in my data layer, it is return the same as the call to GetById(1), why do I need to add the reference?
I'm guessing it's because of the lazy-loading that comes build into your objects. NHibernate creates proxy objects that inherit from your class (which is why you need to declare your methods as virtual). I'm guessing the reference is needed because of the proxy objects.
