Remarks

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

See Model building conventions for more information and examples.

Properties

AfterSaveBehavior

Gets a value indicating whether or not this property can be modified after the entity is saved to the database.

If Throw, then an exception will be thrown if a new value is assigned to this property after the entity exists in the database.

If Ignore, then any modification to the property value of an entity that already exists in the database will be ignored.

(Inherited from IProperty)
BeforeSaveBehavior

Gets a value indicating whether or not this property can be modified before the entity is saved to the database.

If Throw, then an exception will be thrown if a value is assigned to this property when it is in the Added state.

If Ignore, then any value set will be ignored when it is in the Added state.

(Inherited from IProperty)
Builder

Gets the builder that can be used to configure this property.

ClrType

Gets the type of value that this property-like object holds.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
DeclaringEntityType
Obsolete.

Gets the entity type that this property belongs to.

DeclaringType

Gets the type that this property-like object belongs to.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
FieldInfo

Gets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field for this property-like object. This may be null for shadow properties or if the backing field is not known.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
IsConcurrencyToken

Gets a value indicating whether this property is used as a concurrency token. When a property is configured as a concurrency token the value in the database will be checked when an instance of this entity type is updated or deleted during SaveChanges() to ensure it has not changed since the instance was retrieved from the database. If it has changed, an exception will be thrown and the changes will not be applied to the database.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyProperty)
IsInModel

Indicates whether this object is in a model, i.e. hasn't been removed from one.

(Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
IsNullable

Gets a value indicating whether this property can contain null.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyProperty)
IsPrimitiveCollection

A property is a primitive collection if it has an element type that matches the element type of the CLR type.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyProperty)
IsReadOnlyAfterSave
Obsolete.

This property is obsolete. Use BeforeSaveBehavior instead.

(Inherited from IProperty)
IsReadOnlyBeforeSave
Obsolete.

This property is obsolete. Use BeforeSaveBehavior instead.

(Inherited from IProperty)
IsStoreGeneratedAlways
Obsolete.

(Inherited from IProperty)
Sentinel

Gets the sentinel value that indicates that this property is not set.

(Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
ValueGenerated

Gets a value indicating when a value for this property will be generated by the database. Even when the property is set to be generated by the database, EF may still attempt to save a specific value (rather than having one generated by the database) when the entity is added and a value is assigned, or the property is marked as modified for an existing entity. See GetBeforeSaveBehavior() and GetAfterSaveBehavior() for more information and examples.
