Use this attribute to represent an association in a database, such as the relationship between a foreign key and a primary key.
In the following example, the Order
class includes an AssociationAttribute attribute to associate Orders with Customers.
When placed on a 1:1 association whose foreign key members are all non-nullable, deletes the object when the association is set to null.
DeleteRuleGets or sets delete behavior for an association.
IsForeignKeyGets or sets the member as the foreign key in an association representing a database relationship.
IsUniqueGets or sets the indication of a uniqueness constraint on the foreign key.
NameGets or sets the name of a column.
(Inherited from DataAttribute) OtherKeyGets or sets one or more members of the target entity class as key values on the other side of the association.
StorageGets or sets a private storage field to hold the value from a column.
(Inherited from DataAttribute) ThisKeyGets or sets members of this entity class to represent the key values on this side of the association.
TypeIdWhen implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.
(Inherited from Attribute) Methods Explicit Interface Implementations _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.
