Type Parameters

TEntity

The EntityCollectionBase2TEntity type exposes the following members.

Constructors
Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyActiveContext
Gets / sets the active context this entity collection is in. Setting this property is not adding the entity collection to the context, it will make contained entities be added to the passed in context. If the entity collection is already in a context, setting this property has no effect. Setting this property is done by framework code, use the Context's Add/Get methods to work with contexts and entity collections.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyAllowEdit
Default: true. If set to false, entities inside this collection won't be editable in a complex databinding scenario.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyAllowNew
Default: true. If set to false, no new entities will be added through databinding.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyAllowRemove
Default: false. If set to true, entities can be removed through databinding.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyCapacity
Gets / sets the initial capacity of the entity collection.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyConcurrencyPredicateFactoryToUse
Gets / sets the IConcurrencyPredicateFactory instance to use when creating entity objects during a GetMulti() call or when AddNew is called.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Protected propertyContainingEntity
Gets the entity which contains this collection (e.g. Customer, if this collection is the Customer's Orders collection), or null if this collection isn't part of any entity.
Protected propertyContainingEntityMappedField
Gets the name of the field mapped onto the relation in the opposite entity which is represented by this collection, if this collection is contained by an entity. E.g. it will return "Customer" if the relation Customer - Order has the field 'Customer' mapped onto it in Order and this collection is the Orders collection in Customer. If this collection isn't contained in any entity, an empty string is returned.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyContainsDirtyContents
Returns true if this collection contains dirty objects. If this collection contains dirty objects, an already filled collection should not be refreshed until a save is performed. This property is calculated in real time and can be time consuming when the collection contains a lot of objects. Use this property only in cases when the value of this property is used to do a refetch or not.
Public propertyContainsListCollection
Gets a value indicating whether the collection is a collection of IList objects.
Public propertyCount (Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyDefaultView
Gets the default view for this entitycollection. The returned value is the same instance every time this property is read. It's an entity view without a filter or a sorter.
Protected propertyDeserializationInProgress
Gets or sets a value indicating whether [deserialization in progress].
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyDirtyEntities
Returns a readonly collection of entities which are flagged as dirty. This collection is determined on the fly, you can use this collection to remove dirty entities from this entity collection.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyDoNotPerformAddIfPresent
When set to true, an entity passed to Add() or Insert() will be tested if it's already present. If so, the index is returned and the object is not added again. If set to false (default: true) this check is not performed. Setting this property to true can slow down fetch logic. DataAccessAdapter's fetch logic sets this property to false during a multi-entity fetch.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyEntityFactoryToUse
The EntityFactory2 to use when creating entity objects when bound to a grid and AddNew is enabled.
Protected propertyEntityFactoryToUseInternal
Gets or sets the entity factory to use
(Overrides CollectionCoreTEntityFactoryToUseInternal.)
Public propertyEntityValidatorToUse Obsolete.
Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyIsReadOnly (Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyItem
Gets or sets the object at the specified index.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyItems
Items contained by this collection. Returns simply this instance.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyRemovedEntitiesTracker
Gets or sets the entity collection which should be used as removed entities tracker. If this property is set to an IEntityCollection2 instance, all entities which are removed from this collection are marked for deletion and placed in this removed entities tracker collection. This collection can then later on be used to delete these entities from the database in one go.
Protected propertyRemovedEntitiesTrackerInternal
Gets or sets the removal tracker internal.
(Overrides CollectionCoreTRemovedEntitiesTrackerInternal.)
Public propertySite
Gets or sets the ISite associated with the IComponent.
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Protected propertySuppressListChangedEventsInternal
Gets or sets a value indicating whether [surpress list changed events].
(Inherited from CollectionCoreT.)
Public propertyValidatorToUse Obsolete.
Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net
