CollectionCoreT Class

Generic base class for the entity collection classes used by Selfservicing and adapter. This class is mainly written to be able to tap into Add/Remove/Insert etc. without problems: the shipped collection classes in .NET don't have the ability to override Add etc.
Inheritance Hierarchy

Namespace:  SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses
Assembly:  SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses (in SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.dll) Version: 5.5.0.0 (5.5.18.1019)
Syntax
[SerializableAttribute]
public abstract class CollectionCore<T> : IList<T>, 
	ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IEnumerable, IList, ICollection, 
	IEntityCollectionCore, IActiveContextParticipant, ISerializable, IComponent, IDisposable
where T : class, IEntityCore

Type Parameters

T
The type this collection is of (the type of the contained objects.)

The CollectionCoreT 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.
Public propertyAllowEdit
Default: true. If set to false, entities inside this collection won't be editable in a complex databinding scenario.
Public propertyAllowNew
Default: true. If set to false, no new entities will be added through databinding.
Public propertyAllowRemove
Default: false. If set to true, entities can be removed through databinding.
Public propertyCapacity
Gets / sets the initial capacity of the entity collection.
Public propertyConcurrencyPredicateFactoryToUse
Gets / sets the IConcurrencyPredicateFactory instance to use when creating entity objects during a GetMulti() call or when AddNew is called.
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.
Public propertyCount
Protected propertyDeserializationInProgress
Gets or sets a value indicating whether [deserialization in progress].
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.
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) this check is not performed. Setting this property to true can slow down fetch logic.
Protected propertyEntityFactoryToUseInternal
Gets or sets the actual entity factory to use
Public propertyEntityValidatorToUse Obsolete.
Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net
Public propertyIsReadOnly
Public propertyItem
Gets or sets the object at the specified index.
Public propertyItems
Items contained by this collection. Returns simply this instance.
Protected propertyRemovedEntitiesTrackerInternal
Gets/sets the actual removed entities tracker collection.
Public propertySite
Gets or sets the ISite associated with the IComponent.
Protected propertySuppressListChangedEventsInternal
Gets or sets a value indicating whether [surpress list changed events].
Public propertyValidatorToUse Obsolete.
Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net

Protected methodOnDeserialized
Called at the end of the deserialization constructor. Method is used when this object is deserialized. Override this method to tap into the deserialization sequence. (binary/soap formatter specific).
Protected methodOnEntityAdded
Called at the end of the Add or Insert routine which adds an entity to this collection. Will raise EntityAdded event.
Protected methodOnEntityAdding

Protected methodOnEntityRemoving
Called at the start of a remove routine which removes an entity from this collection. Will raise EntityRemoving event.
Protected methodOnGetObjectData
Called at the end of GetObjectData. Method is used when this object is serialized. Override this method to tap into the serialization sequence. (binary/soap formatter specific).
Protected methodOnListChanged
Called when [list changed].
Protected methodPerformAddToActiveContext
Performs the add action to the active context for this collection
Protected methodPerformSetRelatedEntity
Performs the set related entity action on the passed in entity. This action is delegated to an inheritor.
Protected methodPerformUnsetRelatedEntity
