IConventionTypeBase Interface

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata

Assembly:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

Package:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.0

Represents a type in an IConventionModel.

public interface IConventionTypeBase : Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IConventionAnnotatable, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IReadOnlyTypeBase

type IConventionTypeBase = interface
    interface IReadOnlyTypeBase
    interface IReadOnlyAnnotatable
    interface IConventionAnnotatable

Public Interface IConventionTypeBase
Implements IConventionAnnotatable, IReadOnlyTypeBase

Derived

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IConventionComplexType

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IConventionEntityType

Implements

IConventionAnnotatable IReadOnlyAnnotatable IReadOnlyTypeBase

Remarks

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

See Model building conventions for more information and examples.

Properties
