Esempio

Nell'esempio di codice seguente viene illustrato come ottenere un'area di lavoro metadati dalla connessione e quindi utilizzarla per recuperare informazioni sui contenitori di entità nel modello di dati specificato. Si noti che l'area di lavoro metadati è un componente del servizio di runtime che fornisce supporto per il recupero dei metadati.

Nell'esempio di codice vengono utilizzati un oggetto CSpace e un oggetto SSpace per specificare il modello. CSpace rappresenta il nome predefinito per il modello concettuale. SSpace rappresenta il nome predefinito per il modello di archiviazione.

Il GetEntityContainers metodo ottiene una raccolta di contenitori di entità e quindi esegue l'iterazione tramite la raccolta per ottenere ogni set di entità e associazione impostato nel contenitore specificato. L'esempio di codice usa il modello AdventureWorks.

Commenti

A livello concettuale la classe EntityContainer rappresenta un contenitore che verrà mappato a un oggetto di database nello schema dei metadati di archiviazione. A livello di archiviazione la classe EntityContainer rappresenta una descrizione delle relazioni tra tabelle e/o chiavi che rendono persistenti i dati per le applicazioni compilate in base al modello. Per altre informazioni sui contenitori di entità in un modello concettuale, vedere Contenitore di entità.
