Link<T> Struct

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Linq

Assembly:

System.Data.Linq.dll

Used to enable deferred loading of individual properties (similar to EntityRef<TEntity>).

generic <typename T>
public value class Link

public struct Link<T>

type Link<'T> = struct

Public Structure Link(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements in the deferred source.

Inheritance

Object

ValueType

Link<T>

Remarks

If you assign a deferred source (IEnumerable<T>) to Link<T>, Link<T> loads the value by enumerating the source the first time the Value property is accessed.

Constructors

Link<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by referencing the source.
Link<T>(Link<T>)	Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by copying the internal state from another Link<T> instance.
Link<T>(T)	Initializes a new instance of the Link<T> structure by referencing the value of the property.

Properties

HasLoadedOrAssignedValue	Specifies whether the Link<T> has loaded or assigned a value.
HasValue	Gets a value that specifies whether the source has a value.
Value	Gets or sets the value assigned to or loaded by the Link<T>.
