DatabaseAttribute Class
Specifies certain attributes of a class that represents a database.
Namespace: System.Data.Linq.Mapping
Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)
The DatabaseAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
You can apply the DatabaseAttribute attribute to any strongly typed DataContext declaration.
The DatabaseAttribute attribute is optional. If you use it, you must use the Name property to supply a name.
If you do not apply this attribute and the connection does not specify a name, the database is assumed to have the same name as the DataContext class.
