This article was previously published under Q291391



SYMPTOMS
An application uses the DBStorage object to load Commerce.OrderFrom and supplies the OrderForm to the GenerateSampleXMLInstanceFromDictionary method as the Dictionary argument. However, if you call this method on the DBStorage object, you may receive the following error message:

Error &quot;Object required&quot;

The following object and method are utilized:

Object name: DictionaryXMLTransform

Method name: GenerateSampleXMLInstanceFromDictionary



CAUSE
When you parse the dictionary, if an object is found, you call the GetDataStructTypeFromListOrDict function. If the object is a dictionary, you cannot assume that it is a dictionary of dictionaries because, for example, you can have a dictionary of CStrings.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you must use a dictionary of dictionaries.
