Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Metadata.Edm

Assembly:

System.Data.Entity.dll

Represents an entity set in a conceptual model. An EntitySet for an EntityType contains instances of the EntityType or any of its subtypes. More than one EntitySet can be defined by using the same EntityType.

public ref class EntitySet : System::Data::Metadata::Edm::EntitySetBase
