LinqToEntitiesDomainService<TContext>.ObjectContext Property

[WCF RIA Services Version 1 Service Pack 2 is compatible with either .NET framework 4 or .NET Framework 4.5, and with either Silverlight 4 or Silverlight 5.]

Gets the ObjectContext for this LinqToEntitiesDomainService<TContext>.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework (in System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Friend ReadOnly Property ObjectContext As TContext
    Get

'Usage
Dim value As TContext

value = Me.ObjectContext

protected internal TContext ObjectContext { get; }

protected public:
property TContext ObjectContext {
    TContext get ();
}

member ObjectContext : 'TContext

function get ObjectContext () : TContext

Property Value

Type: TContext
The ObjectContext for this LinqToEntitiesDomainService<TContext>.

Remarks

If the ObjectContext property is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the CreateObjectContext method is called and a new ObjectContext is returned. You use the ObjectContext property to interact with the entity data objects.

Examples

The following example shows a domain service that derives from LinqToEntitiesDomainService<TContext>. It contains methods for querying, updating, and deleting data.
