Monaco LinkedList, AbstractSitecoreFieldMapper and Interfaces

[Chris Gaskell]

Hey,

So I'm using interfaces to define my Cms entities as per http://glass.lu/docs/tutorial/sitecore/tutorial21/tutorial21.html and it's working brilliantly - being able to mirror the inheritance as per the model defined in Sitecore.

I've also installed the Monaco LinkedList http://code.monoco.se/2012/12/a-shiny-new-field-type-linklist/ and have had a look at Seans approach to mapping that list to IList<Link> http://www.seanholmesby.com/sitecore-glass-mapper-data-handler-for-a-link-list-field/

The difference between my approach and Seans is with the views, whereas Sean is pushing the mapped IList striaght to the view, mines a property on an interface which is instantiated within a controller. 

I currently have the property in the interface as 

  [SitecoreField(CustomFieldType = "LinkList")]

  IEnumerable<Link> LinkList1 { get; set; }

and have had a few other incarnations (with & without attribs etc).

I cant get past this error though, even though I can see the data from within the LinkedList field... any help much appreciated.

Not entirely sure how I've got this running!

I have changed the type in the mapper to IEnumerable<Link> and that's what's declared in my interfaces. I have also removed the [SitecoreField] attribute.

Fires up fine now.

Chris.
