GetterAccess and SetterAccess Attributes (CSDL)
In the Entity Data Model (EDM), the GetterAccess and SetterAccess attributes of a Property element specify the access assigned to the property when an instance of the type is created.
The following example shows public GetterAccess and private SetterAccess for the property ContactName
.
<EntityType Name="CCustomer">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="CustomerId" />
</Key>
<Property Name="CustomerId" Type="Int32" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="CompanyName" Type="String" />
<Property Name="ContactName" Type="String"
a:GetterAccess="Public"
a:SetterAccess="Private"
xmlns:a="https://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2006/04/codegeneration"/>
<Property Name="ContactTitle" Type="String" />
<Property Name="Address" Type="Self.CAddress" Nullable="false" />
</EntityType>
Note
These attributes are not technically part of CSDL, but they are included in a CSDL file using annotations XSD extensibility feature called anyAttribute.
