Constructors
Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyActiveContext
Gets / sets the active context this entity is in. Setting this property is adding the entity to the context, and it will make contained entities be added to the passed in context as well. If the entity 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 entities.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public propertyAuditorToUse
Gets or sets the Auditor for this entity.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public propertyAuthorizerToUse
Gets or sets the Authorizer for this entity.

The custom properties for the type of this entity instance.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Protected propertyDataErrorInfoError
Gets the data error info error message set by SetEntityError

Events
  NameDescription
Public eventAfterSave
Event handler declaration for the event that is fired each time this entity is persisted. Related entities can subscribe to this event to start housekeeping actions, like syncing internal FK fields with the PK fields of this entity.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public eventEntityContentsChanged
Event handler declaration for the event that is fired each time the one of values of this entity are changed. The event does not contain the value / field which is changed, it only signals subscribers the entity is changed and the subscriber should act accordingly, f.e. fire a ListChanged event.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public eventInitialized
Event which is raised at the end of the initialization method of the entity. This event is also raised if the entity is pre-filled with a filled EntityFields(2) object. In your handler, check the State property of the entity Fields to see if you're dealing with a new entity or with an entity which is new, but pre-initialized with filled field objects.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public eventInitializing
Event which is raised at the start of the initialization method of the entity. The entity is clean and has no entity fields object yet.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
Public eventPropertyChanged
Event fired when a field / property is changed. To fire this event from a derived class, call OnPropertyChanged.
(Inherited from EntityCoreTFields.)
