DataServiceCollection<T> Constructor (DataServiceContext, String, Func<EntityChangedParams, Boolean>, Func<EntityCollectionChangedParams, Boolean>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Creates a new instance of the DataServiceCollection<T> class with the supplied change method delegates and that uses the specified DataServiceContext.

Namespace:  System.Data.Services.Client
Assembly:  System.Data.Services.Client (in System.Data.Services.Client.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    context As DataServiceContext, _
    entitySetName As String, _
    entityChangedCallback As Func(Of EntityChangedParams, Boolean), _
    collectionChangedCallback As Func(Of EntityCollectionChangedParams, Boolean) _
)

public DataServiceCollection(
    DataServiceContext context,
    string entitySetName,
    Func<EntityChangedParams, bool> entityChangedCallback,
    Func<EntityCollectionChangedParams, bool> collectionChangedCallback
)

Parameters

  • entitySetName
    Type: System.String
    The entity set of the objects in the collection.

Remarks

Use this constructor to create an empty DataServiceCollection<T> to which entity objects can be added without executing a query against the service or when an IEnumerable<T> is not available.

By default, automatic change tracking is enabled for a DataServiceCollection<T>. You can create an instance of DataServiceCollection<T> that uses manual change tracking when you create an instance using a constructor that enables you to supply a value of None for TrackingMode. When you use manual tracking, you must implement INotifyPropertyChanged and INotifyCollectionChanged and handle the raised events to manually report changes to the DataServiceContext.
