DataSet.ShouldSerializeRelations Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Data.Common.dll

Source:

DataSet.cs

Gets a value indicating whether Relations property should be persisted.

C#

protected virtual bool ShouldSerializeRelations();

Returns

Boolean

true if the property value has been changed from its default; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following examples show a class derived from the DataSet class. The Reset and ShouldSerializeRelations methods are invoked from within functions in the derived class.

C#

public  class DerivedDataSet:System.Data.DataSet
{
    public void ResetDataSetRelations()
    {
        // Check the ShouldSerializeRelations methods
        // before invoking Reset.
        if(!this.ShouldSerializeRelations())
        {
            this.Reset();
        }
    }
}

Remarks

You typically use this method if you are either creating a designer for the DataSet, or creating your own control incorporating the DataSet.
