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

Creates a new instance of the DataServiceCollection<T> class a based on query execution, with the supplied change method delegates, and that uses the supplied 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, _
    items As IEnumerable(Of T), _
    trackingMode As TrackingMode, _
    entitySetName As String, _
    entityChangedCallback As Func(Of EntityChangedParams, Boolean), _
    collectionChangedCallback As Func(Of EntityCollectionChangedParams, Boolean) _
)
public DataServiceCollection(
    DataServiceContext context,
    IEnumerable<T> items,
    TrackingMode trackingMode,
    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

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

The DataServiceContext must be supplied when items is not a DataServiceQuery<TElement> or QueryOperationResponse<T> that has a reference to a DataServiceContext instance.

The entityChanged and collectionChanged functions are invoked by the PropertyChanged and CollectionChanged events, respectively. The entityChanged method takes an EntityCollectionChangedParams value and the collectionChanged method takes a EntityChangedParams value. Both methods must return a Boolean value that indicates whether the event was handled by the function. When the method returns true, the default behavior will still occur.
