Remarks

In ASP.NET Dynamic Data applications, the MetaChildrenColumn class represents a database field that indicates a one-to-many relationship or a parent-child relationship.

The MetaChildrenColumn class represents the field in the parent table of the one-to-many relationship. However, you can access the child table object by using the ChildTable property. You can also retrieve the foreign-key field in the child table by using the ColumnInOtherTable property.
