Constructors

CollectionEntry(InternalEntityEntry, INavigationBase)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
CollectionEntry(InternalEntityEntry, String)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.

Properties

CurrentValue	Gets or sets the value currently assigned to this property. If the current value is set using this property, the change tracker is aware of the change and DetectChanges() is not required for the context to detect the change.
EntityEntry	The EntityEntry to which this member belongs. (Inherited from MemberEntry)
InternalEntry	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release. (Inherited from MemberEntry)
IsLoaded	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the entity or entities referenced by this navigation property are known to be loaded. (Inherited from NavigationEntry)
IsModified	Gets or sets a value indicating whether any of foreign key property values associated with this navigation property have been modified and should be updated in the database when SaveChanges() is called.
Metadata	Gets the metadata that describes the facets of this property and how it maps to the database. (Inherited from NavigationEntry)

Methods

FindEntry(Object)	The EntityEntry of an entity this navigation targets.
Finder(Type)	This API supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. This API may change or be removed in future releases. (Inherited from NavigationEntry)
GetInternalTargetEntry(Object)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
Load()	Loads the entities referenced by this navigation property, unless IsLoaded is already set to true.
Load(LoadOptions)	Loads the entities referenced by this navigation property, unless IsLoaded is already set to true.
LoadAsync(CancellationToken)	Loads entities referenced by this navigation property, unless IsLoaded is already set to true.
LoadAsync(LoadOptions, CancellationToken)	Loads entities referenced by this navigation property, unless IsLoaded is already set to true.
Query()	Returns the query that would be used by Load() to load entities referenced by this navigation property.

Explicit Interface Implementations

IInfrastructure<InternalEntityEntry>.Instance

This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release.

(Inherited from MemberEntry)

Extension Methods

GetInfrastructure<T>(IInfrastructure<T>)

Gets the value from a property that is being hidden using IInfrastructure<T>. This method is typically used by database providers (and other extensions). It is generally not used in application code.
