Properties
| ClrType |
Gets the type of value that this property-like object holds. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase) |
| DeclaringEntityType |
Obsolete.
Gets the entity type that this property belongs to. |
| DeclaringType |
Gets the type that this property-like object belongs to. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase) |
| FieldInfo |
Gets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field for this property-like object.
This may be |
| IsConcurrencyToken |
Gets a value indicating whether this property is used as a concurrency token. When a property is configured as a concurrency token the value in the database will be checked when an instance of this entity type is updated or deleted during SaveChanges() to ensure it has not changed since the instance was retrieved from the database. If it has changed, an exception will be thrown and the changes will not be applied to the database. |
| IsNullable |
Gets a value indicating whether this property can contain |
| IsPrimitiveCollection |
A property is a primitive collection if it has an element type that matches the element type of the CLR type. |
| Item[String] |
Gets the value of the annotation with the given name, returning |
| Name |
Gets the name of this property-like object. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase) |
| PropertyInfo |
Gets the PropertyInfo for the underlying CLR property for this property-like object.
This may be |
| Sentinel |
Gets the sentinel value that indicates that this property is not set. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase) |
| ValueGenerated |
Gets a value indicating when a value for this property will be generated by the database. Even when the property is set to be generated by the database, EF may still attempt to save a specific value (rather than having one generated by the database) when the entity is added and a value is assigned, or the property is marked as modified for an existing entity. See GetBeforeSaveBehavior() and GetAfterSaveBehavior() for more information and examples. |
