RefFromKey(EntitySet, DbExpression)
Creates a new DbRefExpression that encodes a reference to a specific Entity based on key values.

Public Function RefFromKey (entitySet As EntitySet, keyRow As DbExpression) As DbRefExpressionParameters
- entitySet
- EntitySet
The Entity set in which the referenced element resides.
- keyRow
- DbExpression
A DbExpression that constructs a record with columns that match (in number, type, and order) the Key properties of the referenced Entity type.
Returns
A new DbRefExpression that references the element with the specified key values in the given Entity set.
Exceptions
entitySet or keyRow is null.
keyRow does not have a record result type that matches the key properties of the referenced entity set's entity type.
Remarks
keyRow should be an expression that specifies the key values that identify the referenced entity within the given entity set. The result type of keyRow should contain a corresponding column for each key property defined by entitySet's entity type.

RefFromKey(EntitySet, DbExpression, EntityType)

Public Function RefFromKey (entitySet As EntitySet, keyRow As DbExpression, entityType As EntityType) As DbRefExpressionParameters
- entitySet
- EntitySet
The Entity set in which the referenced element resides.
- keyRow
- DbExpression
A DbExpression that constructs a record with columns that match (in number, type, and order) the Key properties of the referenced Entity type.
- entityType
- EntityType
The type of the Entity that the reference should refer to.
Returns
A new DbRefExpression that references the element with the specified key values in the given Entity set.
Exceptions
entitySet, keyRow or entityType is null.
entityType is not in the same type hierarchy as the entity set's entity type, or keyRow does not have a record result type that matches the key properties of the referenced entity set's entity type.
Remarks
keyRow should be an expression that specifies the key values that identify the referenced entity within the given entity set. The result type of keyRow should contain a corresponding column for each key property defined by entitySet's entity type.
