DataSet.EnforceConstraints Property
Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)
/** @property */ public boolean get_EnforceConstraints () /** @property */ public void set_EnforceConstraints (boolean value)
public function get EnforceConstraints () : boolean public function set EnforceConstraints (value : boolean)
Not applicable.
Property Value
true if rules are enforced; otherwise false. The default is true.Constraints are set at the DataTable level (Constraints property). For more information about creating constraints, see Adding Constraints to a Table.
The following example creates a DataSet with one table, one column, five rows, and one UniqueConstraint. The EnforceConstraints property is set to false and the values of each row are set to the same value. When the EnforceConstraints property is reset to true, a ConstraintException is generated.
private void DemonstrateEnforceConstraints() { // Create a DataSet with one table, one column and // a UniqueConstraint. DataSet dataSet= new DataSet("dataSet"); DataTable table = new DataTable("table"); DataColumn column = new DataColumn("col1"); // A UniqueConstraint is added when the Unique // property is true. column.Unique=true; table.Columns.Add(column); dataSet.Tables.Add(table); Console.WriteLine("constraints.count: " + table.Constraints.Count); // add five rows. DataRow row ; for(int i=0;i<5;i++) { row = table.NewRow(); row["col1"] = i; table.Rows.Add(row); } table.AcceptChanges(); dataSet.EnforceConstraints=false; // Change the values of all rows to 1. foreach(DataRow thisRow in table.Rows) { thisRow["col1"]=1; //Console.WriteLine("\table" + thisRow[0]); } try { dataSet.EnforceConstraints=true; } catch(System.Data.ConstraintException e) { // Process exception and return. Console.WriteLine("Exception of type {0} occurred.", e.GetType()); } }
