EntityRef<TEntity>.GetEntity Method
Returns the entity that is wrapped by this EntityRef<TEntity> object.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq (in Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function GetEntity As TEntity
'Usage
Dim instance As EntityRef
Dim returnValue As TEntity
returnValue = instance.GetEntity()
public TEntity GetEntity()
Return Value
Type: TEntity
A Object that represents the entity that is stored in a private field of this EntityRef<TEntity> object.
Remarks
Calling this method with the get accessor of a property that wraps a private EntityRef<TEntity> field enables the property to be read with standard property reading syntax when the property value is being assigned to an object of type T, rather than type EntityRef<TEntity>, where T is the type of the property (and the type parameter of the private EntityRef<TEntity> field).
Examples
The following code shows GetEntity() in use:
[ContentType(Name="Item", Id="0x01", List="Clients")]
public partial class ClientsItem : Item
{
private EntityRef <SalesStaff> _clientRepresentative;
[Association(Name="ClientRepresentative", Storage="_city", MultivalueType=AssociationType.Single, List="Sales Staff")]
public SalesStaff ClientRepresentative {
get {
return this._clientRepresentative.GetEntity();
}
set {
this._clientRepresentative.SetEntity(value);
}
}
// Other members omitted for readability.
}
