EntityCollection as parameter in a method

Question

I am trying to write a code where EntityCollection is the parameter of the method but I don't know what is the proper coding

is there someone who can help me about this?

here is the sample code

 //by the way, this is a wrong coding, I am just showing you, what is the thing that I want to do...
private void sampleMethod(EntityCollection a)
{
   if (a.ToList().Count == 0)
   {
      //body
   }
}

and when I call it, this is what it looks like

sampleMethod(employee.EducationalBackground);

I can't understand what you are looking for... what do you mean for proper coding? — Tommaso Belluzzo, Jan 18 '13 at 02:18
a correct data type/class for example "employee.EducationalBackrground", so I can use it as a parameter in a method. — portgas d ace, Jan 18 '13 at 02:24

The question is a little difficult to understand but I suppose you're looking for something like this:

private void sampleMethod(EntityCollection<Employee> employees)
{
   foreach(var employee in employees)
   {
      // do something with every employee.EducationalBackground
   }
}

Search for "c# Generics" for info about the EntityCollection<Employee>.

Search for "linq" for info about how to work with collections.
