EntitySet<TEntity>.Assign Method

Replaces the entities currently associated with this EntitySet<TEntity> with the specified collection.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq (in Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Assign ( _
    entities As IEnumerable(Of TEntity) _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As EntitySet
Dim entities As IEnumerable(Of TEntity)

instance.Assign(entities)
public void Assign(
    IEnumerable<TEntity> entities
)

Parameters

Remarks

Typically, this method is called by the set accessor of an EntitySet<TEntity> property. It calls the OnChanging handler before it writes a new set of values to the EntitySet<TEntity>. It calls OnChanged just after it writes a new set of values to the EntitySet<TEntity>.

Examples

The following code shows Assign(IEnumerable<TEntity>) in use:

[ContentType(Name="Item", Id="0x01", List="Team Members")]
[DataContract()]

public partial class TeamMembersItem : Item {
    
    [DataMember()]
    private EntitySet<Project> _projects;

    public TeamMembersItem() {
        this._manager = new EntitySet<Project>();
        this.Initialize();
    }

    [Association(Name="AssignedProjects", Storage="_projects ", MultivalueType=AssociationType.Multi, List="Projects")]
    public EntitySet<Project> AssignedProjects {
        get {
            return this._projects;
        }
        set {
            this._projects.Assign(value);
        }
    }

    // Other members omitted for readability.
}
