Other Versions

Specifies certain attributes of a class that represents a database.

Namespace: System.Data.Linq.Mapping
Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class DatabaseAttribute : Attribute

Remarks

You can apply the DatabaseAttribute attribute to any strongly typed DataContext declaration.

The DatabaseAttribute attribute is optional. If you use it, you must use the Name property to supply a name.

If you do not apply this attribute and the connection does not specify a name, the database is assumed to have the same name as the DataContext class.
