CTor

Private CTor for deserialization

Gets / sets the active context this entity collection is in. Setting this property is not adding the entity collection to the context, it will make contained entities be added to the passed in context. If the entity collection is already in a context, setting this property has no effect. Setting this property is done by framework code, use the Context's Add/Get methods to work with contexts and entity collections.

Default: true. If set to false, entities inside this collection won't be editable in a complex databinding scenario.

Default: true. If set to false, no new entities will be added through databinding.

Default: false. If set to true, entities can be removed through databinding.

Gets / sets the initial capacity of the entity collection.

Gets / sets the IConcurrencyPredicateFactory instance to use when creating entity objects during a GetMulti() call or when AddNew is called.

Gets the entity which contains this collection (e.g. Customer, if this collection is the Customer's Orders collection), or null if this collection isn't part of any entity.

Gets the name of the field mapped onto the relation in the opposite entity which is represented by this collection, if this collection is contained by an entity. E.g. it will return "Customer" if the relation Customer - Order has the field 'Customer' mapped onto it in Order and this collection is the Orders collection in Customer. If this collection isn't contained in any entity, an empty string is returned.

Returns true if this collection contains dirty objects. If this collection contains dirty objects, an already filled collection should not be refreshed until a save is performed. This property is calculated in real time and can be time consuming when the collection contains a lot of objects. Use this property only in cases when the value of this property is used to do a refetch or not.

Gets a value indicating whether the collection is a collection of IList objects.

Gets the number of elements contained in the ICollectionT.

Gets the default view for this entitycollection. The returned value is the same instance every time this property is read. It's an entity view without a filter or a sorter.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether [deserialization in progress].

Returns a readonly collection of entities which are flagged as dirty. This collection is determined on the fly, you can use this collection to remove dirty entities from this entity collection.

When set to true, an entity passed to Add() or Insert() will be tested if it's already present. If so, the index is returned and the object is not added again. If set to false (default: true) this check is not performed. Setting this property to true can slow down fetch logic. DataAccessAdapter's fetch logic sets this property to false during a multi-entity fetch.

The EntityFactory to use when creating entity objects during a GetMulti() call or other logic which requires the creation of new entities.

Gets or sets the entity factory to use

Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net

Gets a value indicating whether the ICollectionT is read-only.

Gets or sets the object at the specified index.

Items contained by this collection. Returns simply this instance.

The maximum number of items to return with this retrieval query. If the used Dynamic Query Engine supports it, 'TOP' is used to limit the amount of rows to return. When set to 0, no limitations are specified.

Flag to check if the ITransactionalElement implementing object is participating in a transaction or not.

Gets or sets the entity collection which should be used as removed entities tracker. If this property is set to an IEntityCollection instance, all entities which are removed from this collection are marked for deletion and placed in this removed entities tracker collection. This collection can then later on be used to delete these entities from the database in one go.

Gets or sets the removal tracker internal.

Gets or sets the ISite associated with the IComponent.

The order by specifications for the sorting of the resultset when fetching it from the persistent storage. When not specified, no sorting is applied.

Surpresses the removal of all contents of the collection in a GetMulti*() call. Used by code in related entities to prevent the removal of objects when collection properties are accessed.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether [surpress list changed events].

The ITransaction this ITransactionalElement implementing object is participating in. Only valid if ParticipatesInTransaction is true. If set to null, the ITransactionalElement is no longer participating in a transaction.

Obsolete. Collections don't store validator objects anymore. Present to make sure users can continue designing their forms in vs.net
