Initializes a new instance of the Link(Of T) structure by referencing the value of the property.

System_CAPS_pubmethodLink(Of T)(IEnumerable(Of T))

Initializes a new instance of the Link(Of T) structure by referencing the source.

System_CAPS_pubmethodLink(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.

NameDescription

Specifies whether the Link(Of T) has loaded or assigned a value.

System_CAPS_pubpropertyHasValue

Gets a value that specifies whether the source has a value.
