DataObjectMethodType Enumeration

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Identifies the type of data operation performed by a method, as specified by the DataObjectMethodAttribute applied to the method.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
public enum DataObjectMethodType
Member name Description
Supported by the XNA Framework Fill Indicates that a method is used for a data operation that fills a DataSet object.
Supported by the XNA Framework Select Indicates that a method is used for a data operation that retrieves data.
Supported by the XNA Framework Update Indicates that a method is used for a data operation that updates data.
Supported by the XNA Framework Insert Indicates that a method is used for a data operation that inserts data.
Supported by the XNA Framework Delete Indicates that a method is used for a data operation that deletes data.

The following code example demonstrates how you can apply the DataObjectMethodAttribute to a publicly exposed method and identify the type of data operation it performs as well as whether it is the type's default data method. In this example the NorthwindEmployee type exposes two different data methods: one to retrieve a set of data named GetAllEmployees, and one to delete data named DeleteEmployeeByID. The DataObjectMethodAttribute is applied to both methods.


[DataObjectAttribute]
public class NorthwindData
{  
  public NorthwindData() {}

  [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Select, true)]
  public static IEnumerable GetAllEmployees()
  {
    AccessDataSource ads = new AccessDataSource();
    ads.DataSourceMode = SqlDataSourceMode.DataReader;
    ads.DataFile = "~//App_Data//Northwind.mdb";
    ads.SelectCommand = "SELECT EmployeeID,FirstName,LastName FROM Employees";
    return ads.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
  }

  // Delete the Employee by ID.
  [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Delete, true)]
  public void DeleteEmployeeByID(int employeeID)
  {
    throw new Exception("The value passed to the delete method is "
                         + employeeID.ToString());
  }
}
