2.1.8 TEntitySet

The TEntitySet complex type annotates the EntitySet element, as defined in [MC-CSDL] section 2.1.18. The EntitySet element defines a named set that can contain instances of an entity. More than one EntitySet element for a particular EntityType can be defined.

The TEntitySet complex type is defined in the schema as follows.

 <xs:complexType name="TEntitySet">
   <xs:attribute name="Caption" type="xs:string" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="CollectionCaption" type="xs:string" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="ReferenceName" type="xs:string" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="Hidden" type="xs:boolean" default="false" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="LineageTag" type="xs:string" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="Private" type="xs:boolean" default="false" use="optional" />
   <xs:attribute name="ShowAsVariationsOnly" type="xs:boolean" default="false" use="optional" />
 </xs:complexType>
