BLOG by Manuel Grundner: How to initialize an ObjectSpaceProvider with XPO

If anybody needs to initialize an ObjectSpaceProvider with XPO for UnitTesting or a ServiceApplication here is the code:

public IObjectSpaceProvider CreateObjectSpaceProvider(Assembly assembly, string connectionString)
{
	var dictionary = new ReflectionDictionary();

	dictionary.CollectClassInfos(assembly);

	var info = new TypesInfo();

	var source = new XpoTypeInfoSource(info, dictionary);

	info.AddEntityStore(source);

	foreach (XPClassInfo item in dictionary.Classes)
	    source.RegisterEntity(item.ClassType);

	return new XPObjectSpaceProvider(new ConnectionStringDataStoreProvider(connectionString), info, source);
}

This took me hours of digging in the XAF-source.

Hope this helps anyone.

Happy coding, Manuel!
