<Extension()>
Public Function IsSparse (propertyBuilder As IConventionPropertyBuilder, sparse As Nullable(Of Boolean), Optional fromDataAnnotation As Boolean = false) As IConventionPropertyBuilder

Parameters

propertyBuilder

IConventionPropertyBuilder

The builder for the property being configured.

sparse

Nullable<Boolean>
