Overloads
PrimitiveCollection(String) |
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added. |
PrimitiveCollection(Type, String) |
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added. |
PrimitiveCollection<TProperty>(String) |
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added. |
PrimitiveCollection(String)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder PrimitiveCollection (string propertyName);
abstract member PrimitiveCollection : string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
override this.PrimitiveCollection : string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
Public Overridable Function PrimitiveCollection (propertyName As String) As PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
Parameters
- propertyName
- String
The name of the property to be configured.
Returns
An object that can be used to configure the property.
Remarks
When adding a new property with this overload the property name must match the name of a CLR property or field on the entity type. This overload cannot be used to add a new shadow state property.
Applies to
PrimitiveCollection(Type, String)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder PrimitiveCollection (Type propertyType, string propertyName);
abstract member PrimitiveCollection : Type * string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
override this.PrimitiveCollection : Type * string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
Public Overridable Function PrimitiveCollection (propertyType As Type, propertyName As String) As PrimitiveCollectionBuilder
Parameters
- propertyType
- Type
The type of the property to be configured.
- propertyName
- String
The name of the property to be configured.
Returns
An object that can be used to configure the property.
Remarks
When adding a new property, if a property with the same name exists in the entity class then it will be added to the model. If no property exists in the entity class, then a new shadow state property will be added. A shadow state property is one that does not have a corresponding property in the entity class. The current value for the property is stored in the ChangeTracker rather than being stored in instances of the entity class.
Applies to
PrimitiveCollection<TProperty>(String)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a property of the entity type where that property represents a collection of primitive values, such as strings or integers. If no property with the given name exists, then a new property will be added.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder<TProperty> PrimitiveCollection<TProperty> (string propertyName);
abstract member PrimitiveCollection : string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder<'Property>
override this.PrimitiveCollection : string -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.PrimitiveCollectionBuilder<'Property>
Public Overridable Function PrimitiveCollection(Of TProperty) (propertyName As String) As PrimitiveCollectionBuilder(Of TProperty)
Type Parameters
- TProperty
The type of the property to be configured.
Parameters
- propertyName
- String
The name of the property to be configured.
Returns
An object that can be used to configure the property.
Remarks
When adding a new property, if a property with the same name exists in the entity class then it will be added to the model. If no property exists in the entity class, then a new shadow state property will be added. A shadow state property is one that does not have a corresponding property in the entity class. The current value for the property is stored in the ChangeTracker rather than being stored in instances of the entity class.
