ColumnAttribute Class
Visual Studio 2008
Associates a class with a column in a database table.
Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)
Use this attribute to designate a member of an entity class to represent a column in a database table. You can apply this attribute to any field or property that is public, private, or internal.
Only those entity class members identified as columns are persisted when LINQ to SQL saves changes to the database.
Use commas to separate multiple properties on the attribute.
<Table(Name:="Employees")> _ Public Class Employees Private _LastName As String ' … <Column(Storage:="_LastName", DbType:="NVarChar(20) NOT NULL", _ CanBeNull:=false)> _ Public Property LastName() As String Get Return Me._LastName End Get Set If ((Me._LastName = value) _ = false) Then Me.OnPropertyChanging("LastName") Me._LastName = value Me.OnPropertyChanged("LastName") End If End Set End Property End Class
