[This page is specific to the Entity Framework version 6. The latest version is available as the 'Entity Framework' NuGet package. For more information about Entity Framework, see msdn.com/data/ef.]
Returns a non-generic DbSet instance for access to entities of the given type in the context and the underlying store.
Assembly: EntityFramework (in EntityFramework.dll)
'Declaration <SuppressMessageAttribute("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1716:IdentifiersShouldNotMatchKeywords", MessageId := "Set")> _ Public Overridable Function Set ( _ entityType As Type _ ) As DbSet 'Usage Dim instance As DbContext Dim entityType As Type Dim returnValue As DbSet returnValue = instance.Set(entityType)
Parameters
- entityType
- Type: System.Type
The type of entity for which a set should be returned.
Note that Entity Framework requires that this method return the same instance each time that it is called for a given context instance and entity type. Also, the generic DbSet(Of TEntity) returned by the Set(Type) method must wrap the same underlying query and set of entities. These invariants must be maintained if this method is overridden for anything other than creating test doubles for unit testing. See the DbSet class for more details.
