EntitySet Class
Represents an entity set in a conceptual model. An EntitySet for an EntityType contains instances of the EntityType or any of its subtypes. More than one EntitySet can be defined by using the same EntityType.
System.Data.Metadata.Edm.MetadataItem
System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EntitySetBase
System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EntitySet
Namespace: System.Data.Metadata.Edm
Assembly: System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)
The EntitySet type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BuiltInTypeKind | Gets the built-in type kind for this EntitySet. (Overrides EntitySetBase.BuiltInTypeKind.) |
| Documentation | Gets or sets the documentation associated with this type. (Inherited from MetadataItem.) |
| ElementType | Gets the entity type of this EntitySet. |
| EntityContainer | Gets the entity container of the current entity or relationship set. (Inherited from EntitySetBase.) |
| MetadataProperties | Gets the list of properties of the current type. (Inherited from MetadataItem.) |
| Name | Gets the name of the current entity or relationship set. (Inherited from EntitySetBase.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns the name of the current entity or relationship set. (Inherited from EntitySetBase.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CreateRef(DbExpression[]) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific entity based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| CreateRef(IEnumerable<DbExpression>) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific entity based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| CreateRef(EntityType, IEnumerable<DbExpression>) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific entity of a given type based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| CreateRef(EntityType, DbExpression[]) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific entity of a given type based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| RefFromKey(DbExpression) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific Entity based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| RefFromKey(DbExpression, EntityType) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific Entity based on key values. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| Scan | Creates a new DbScanExpression that references the specified entity or relationship set. (Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
