I've been trying to access the order address collection through the pipeline
system, and I think that there may have been an error in the original
OrderPiplineMappings.xml from the StarterSite CTP  The original file defines
the address collection like this.

<Class Name="OrderForm">
<Collection Name="Addresses" DictionaryKey="Addresses"
KeyType="Dictionary" ReferTo="OrderAddress" />
</Class>

I am unable to access the addresses collection like this but if I change it
to...

<Collection Name="Addresses" DictionaryKey="Addresses" KeyType="SimpleList"
ReferTo="OrderAddress" />

Things work fine.  Is this a bug with the original file from the Starter
Site CTP or am I just doing things wrong?

Thanks

Addresses is definitely a dictionary collection.  You might want to try and
upgrade to the RTM StarterSite as there might have been a bug in there.  In
addition you can use the XmlTracer to dump the contents of the order form to
see if it is in fact being stored as a SimpleList.

Cheers,
Colin
