Remarks

Use this attribute to designate a member of an entity class to represent a column in a database table. You can apply this attribute to any field or property that is public, private, or internal.

Only those entity class members identified as columns are persisted when LINQ to SQL saves changes to the database.

Use commas to separate multiple properties on the attribute.
