![]() | Link(Of T)(T) | Initializes a new instance of the Link(Of T) structure by referencing the value of the property. |
![]() | Link(Of T)(IEnumerable(Of T)) | Initializes a new instance of the Link(Of T) structure by referencing the source. |
![]() | Link(Of T)(Link(Of T)) | Initializes a new instance of the Link(Of T) structure by copying the internal state from another Link(Of T) instance. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | HasLoadedOrAssignedValue | Specifies whether the Link(Of T) has loaded or assigned a value. |
![]() | HasValue | Gets a value that specifies whether the source has a value. |
![]() | Value | Gets or sets the value assigned to or loaded by the Link(Of T). |

![]() | Equals(Object) | Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal.(Inherited from ValueType.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from ValueType.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | ToString() | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.(Inherited from ValueType.) |
If you assign a deferred source (IEnumerable(Of T)) to Link(Of T), Link(Of T) loads the value by enumerating the source the first time the Value property is accessed.
