Bob,

>The error says the method (GetEntity) cannot be used with type arguments. Since I know that this stored procedure can only return 1 record, I am not returning it using mmBindingList. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I guess I could just use the GetEntityList method (even though I know that only one record would be returned) but I would like to hear some other suggestions before going this route.

We didn't provide a GetEntity() method that accepted a generic type parameter because we wanted to stress that you should really only use different shapes of data for read-only lists...so, using GetEntityList() works fine even if you have just one item returned.
