DbRangeOptions Enumeration

Specifies the options used by the SetRange method when specifying the index range over which to seek.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace:  System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly:  System.Data.SqlServerCe (in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll)

Members

	Member name	Description
	InclusiveStart	Includes the startData value in the range.
	InclusiveEnd	Includes the endData value in the range.
	ExclusiveStart	Excludes the startData value from the range.
	ExclusiveEnd	Excludes the endData value from the range.
	ExcludeNulls	Excludes nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) values from the range.
	Prefix	Specifies a range in which index values begin with the value of startData. When using the Prefix option, endData must be set to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
	Match	Specifies a range in which index values match the value of startData. When using the Match option, endData must be set to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
	Default	Equivalent to setting both the InclusiveStart and InclusiveEnd flags.

Remarks

If you specify the Match or Prefix option, the endData value must be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

You cannot combine the Match and ExcludeNulls options.

Examples

In this example, the range options for the Seek operation on the index are specified as InclusiveStart or InclusiveEnd when calling the SetRange method.
