Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

Default = false.

Assuming an entity class, you must provide at least one member with this attribute, and it must be mapped to the primary key or a unique key in the corresponding table or view. Failure to do this prompts LINQ to SQL to consider instances of the class as read-only for submitting changes to the database.

If you designate more than one member of the class by using this property, the key is said to be a composite of the associated columns.

System_CAPS_noteNote

LINQ to SQL does not support computed columns as primary keys.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
