Link<T> Structure
.NET Framework 4.5
Used to enable deferred loading of individual properties (similar to EntityRef<TEntity>).
Namespace: System.Data.Linq
Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)
The Link<T> type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Link<T>(T) | Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by referencing the value of the property. |
| Link<T>(IEnumerable<T>) | Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by referencing the source. |
| Link<T>(Link<T>) | Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by copying the internal state from another Link<T> instance. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| HasLoadedOrAssignedValue | Specifies whether the Link<T> has loaded or assigned a value. |
| HasValue | Gets a value that specifies whether the source has a value. |
| Value | Gets or sets the value assigned to or loaded by the Link<T>. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
If you assign a deferred source (IEnumerable<T>) to Link<T>, Link<T> loads the value by enumerating the source the first time the Value property is accessed.
