Remarks

This interface is used during model creation and allows the metadata to be modified. Once the model is built, IReadOnlyNavigationBase represents a read-only view of the same metadata.

See Model building conventions for more information and examples.

IsShadowProperty()	Gets a value indicating whether this is a shadow property. A shadow 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. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
RemoveAnnotation(String)	Removes the annotation with the given name from this object. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
RemoveRuntimeAnnotation(String)	Removes the given runtime annotation from this object. (Inherited from IAnnotatable)
SetAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
SetField(FieldInfo, Boolean)	Obsolete. Sets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field that this property should use. By default, the backing field, if one is found or has been specified, is used when new objects are constructed, typically when entities are queried from the database. Properties are used for all other accesses. This can be changed by calling SetPropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean). (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetField(String, Boolean)	Sets the underlying CLR field that this property should use. This may be `null` for shadow properties or if the backing field for the property is not known. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetFieldInfo(FieldInfo, Boolean)	Sets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field that this property should use. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetIsEagerLoaded(Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Sets a value indicating whether this navigation should be eager loaded by default.
SetIsLoadedWhenNoTracking(Object)	Calls SetLoaded(Object, String, Boolean) for a INavigationBase to mark it as loaded when a no-tracking query has eagerly loaded this relationship. (Inherited from INavigationBase)
SetLazyLoadingEnabled(Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Sets a value indicating whether this navigation should be lazy-loaded, if lazy-loading is enabled and in place.
SetOrRemoveAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. Removes the existing annotation if `null` is supplied. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
SetPropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean)	Sets the PropertyAccessMode to use for this property. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetRuntimeAnnotation(String, Object)	Sets the runtime annotation stored under the given key. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IAnnotatable)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IPropertyBase.GetPropertyAccessMode()	Gets the PropertyAccessMode being used for this property. `null` indicates that the default property access mode is being used. (Inherited from INavigationBase)
IReadOnlyPropertyBase.IsShadowProperty()	Gets a value indicating whether this is a shadow property. A shadow 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. (Inherited from IReadOnlyNavigationBase)

Extension Methods

AddAnnotations(IConventionAnnotatable, IEnumerable<IConventionAnnotation>, Boolean)	Adds annotations to an object.
GetAnnotation(IConventionAnnotatable, String)	Gets the annotation with the given name, throwing if it does not exist.
SetOrRemoveAnnotation(IConventionAnnotatable, String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. Removes the existing annotation if `null` is supplied.
GetPropertyAccessModeConfigurationSource(IConventionPropertyBase)	Returns the configuration source for GetPropertyAccessMode().
SetField(IConventionPropertyBase, String, Boolean)	Sets the underlying CLR field that this property should use. This may be `null` for shadow properties or if the backing field for the property is not known. Backing fields are normally found by convention as described here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=723277. This method is useful for setting backing fields explicitly in cases where the correct field is not found by convention. By default, the backing field, if one is found or has been specified, is used when new objects are constructed, typically when entities are queried from the database. Properties are used for all other accesses. This can be changed by calling SetPropertyAccessMode(IConventionPropertyBase, Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean).
SetPropertyAccessMode(IConventionPropertyBase, Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean)	Sets the PropertyAccessMode to use for this property.
AnnotationsToDebugString(IAnnotatable, Int32)	Gets the debug string for all annotations declared on the object.
GetAnnotation(IAnnotatable, String)	Gets the annotation with the given name, throwing if it does not exist.
SetIsLoadedWhenNoTracking(INavigationBase, Object)	Calls SetLoaded(Object, String, Boolean) for a INavigationBase to mark it as loaded when a no-tracking query has eagerly loaded this relationship.
GetCurrentValueComparer(IPropertyBase)	Gets a IComparer<T> for comparing values in tracked IUpdateEntry entries.
GetFieldName(IPropertyBase)	Gets the name of the backing field for this property, or `null` if the backing field is not known.
GetGetter(IPropertyBase)	Gets a IClrPropertyGetter for reading the value of this property. Note that it is an error to call this method for a shadow property (IsShadowProperty(IPropertyBase)) since such a property has no associated MemberInfo.
GetIndex(IPropertyBase)	Gets the property index for this property.
GetMemberInfo(IPropertyBase, Boolean, Boolean)	Gets the PropertyInfo or FieldInfo that should be used to get or set a value for the given property. Note that it is an error to call this method for a shadow property (IsShadowProperty(IPropertyBase)) since such a property has no associated MemberInfo.
IsIndexerProperty(IPropertyBase)	Gets a value indicating whether this is an indexer property. An indexer property is one that is accessed through an indexer on the entity class.
IsShadowProperty(IPropertyBase)	Obsolete. Gets a value indicating whether this is a shadow property. A shadow 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.
