ObjectStateEntry Class
Maintains state and key information for objects and relationships and change tracking for object properties.
Assembly: System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)
The ObjectStateEntry type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CurrentValues | Gets the current property values of the object or relationship associated with this ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | Entity | Gets the object associated with this ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | EntityKey | Gets the EntityKey associated with the ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | EntitySet | Gets the EntitySetBase for the object or relationship associated with this ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | IsRelationship | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this ObjectStateEntry represents a relationship. |
![]() | ObjectStateManager | Gets the ObjectStateManager for this ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | OriginalValues | Gets the read-only version of original values of the object or relationship associated with this ObjectStateEntry. To get updatable original values, use GetUpdatableOriginalValues. |
![]() | RelationshipManager | Returns a RelationshipManager instance for the object represented by entry. |
![]() | State | Gets the state of this ObjectStateEntry. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AcceptChanges | Accepts the current values as original values. |
![]() | ApplyCurrentValues | Sets the current values of the entry to match the property values of a supplied object. |
![]() | ApplyOriginalValues | Sets the original values of the entry to match the property values of a supplied object. |
![]() | ChangeState | Changes state of the entry to the specified EntityState value. |
![]() | Delete | Marks an entity as deleted. |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | GetModifiedProperties | Returns the names of an object's properties that have changed since the last time SaveChanges was called. |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetUpdatableOriginalValues | Gets the updatable version of original values of the object associated with this ObjectStateEntry. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | SetModified | Sets the state of the object or relationship to Modified. |
![]() | SetModifiedProperty | Marks the specified property as modified. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IEntityChangeTracker::EntityComplexMemberChanged | Notifies the state manager that a complex property has changed. |
![]() ![]() | IEntityChangeTracker::EntityComplexMemberChanging | Notifies the state manager that a complex property has a pending change. |
![]() ![]() | IEntityChangeTracker::EntityMemberChanged | Notifies the state manager that a property has changed. |
![]() ![]() | IEntityChangeTracker::EntityMemberChanging | Notifies the state manager that a property has a pending change. |
![]() ![]() | IEntityChangeTracker::EntityState | Gets the EntityState for the ObjectStateEntry. |
Maintains the EntityState, the EntityKey values, and the original values of an object or relationship. Also manages the list of modified properties.
There is an instance of an ObjectStateEntry associated with each entity type relationship instance. An object is associated with an ObjectStateEntry only if it is in the ObjectStateManager.
When an object that has a relationship is detached, the information maintained by the ObjectStateEntry is reduced to only what is required to maintain the relationship.
An ObjectStateEntry cannot have the same key as another ObjectStateEntry in the same ObjectStateManager.
The key values of a persisted entity cannot be modified. Entities in the unchanged, modified, and deleted states are persisted entities.
The example in this topic is based on the Adventure Works Sales Model. The example gets the ObjectStateEntry for the given EntityKey from the ObjectStateManager. Then it gets the current value of SalesOrderHeader.PurchaseOrderNumber property, changes the property's value, and enumerates through the collection of modified properties.
