Remarks
The EntitySetAttribute class is used by the client during data binding to determine the name of the entity set to which a class belongs. This attribute is generated by the Add Service Reference dialog box when the Binding option is used and by the DataSvcUtil.exe tool when the /binding option is supplied.
You must apply the EntitySetAttribute to any user-supplied client data service classes that are used with data binding.
EntitySetAttribute is only supported when there is one entity set associated with the type.
