Remarks
You apply the ExcludeAttribute attribute to a property when you do not want to make the property available to client applications. Many values, such as identity values, are managed in the data source and do not need to be displayed or edited in the client.
Examples
The following example shows the ExcludeAttribute applied to property named rowguid which is of Guid type.
<MetadataTypeAttribute(GetType(Address.AddressMetadata))> _
Partial Public Class Address
Friend NotInheritable Class AddressMetadata
'Metadata classes are not meant to be instantiated.
Private Sub New()
MyBase.New
End Sub
Public AddressID As Integer
<Required()> _
<StringLength(60)> _
Public AddressLine1 As String
Public AddressLine2 As String
<Required()> _
<StringLength(30)> _
Public City As String
Public CountryRegion As String
Public CustomerAddresses As EntityCollection(Of CustomerAddress)
Public ModifiedDate As DateTime
<Required()> _
Public PostalCode As String
<Exclude()> _
Public rowguid As Guid
Public StateProvince As String
End Class
End Class
[MetadataTypeAttribute(typeof(Address.AddressMetadata))]
public partial class Address
{
internal sealed class AddressMetadata
{
// Metadata classes are not meant to be instantiated.
private AddressMetadata()
{
}
public int AddressID;
[Required]
[StringLength(60)]
public string AddressLine1;
public string AddressLine2;
