    Namespace LinqToDB.Mapping

    Classes

    AssociationAttribute

    Defines relation between tables or views. Could be applied to:

    • instance properties and fields;
    • instance and static methods.

    For associations, defined using static methods, this mapping side defined by type of first parameter. Also, optionally, you can pass data context object as extra method parameter.

    Based on association type - to one or to multiple records - result type should be target record's mapping type or collection.

    By default associations are used only for joins generation in LINQ queries and will have null value for loaded records. To load data into association, you should explicitly specify it in your query using method.

    AssociationDescriptor

    Stores association descriptor.

    ColumnAliasAttribute

    Specifies that current field or property is just an alias to another property or field. Currently this attribute has several issues:

    • you can apply it to class or interface - such attribute will be ignored by linq2db;
    • it is possible to define attribute without setting MemberName value;
    • you can define alias to another alias property or field and potentially create loop.

    ColumnAttribute

    Configures mapping of mapping class member to database column. Could be applied directly to a property or field or to mapping class/interface. In latter case you should specify member name using MemberName property.

    ColumnDescriptor

    Stores mapping entity column descriptor.

    DataTypeAttribute

    This attribute allows to override default types, defined in mapping schema, for current column. Also see DataType and DbType. Applying this attribute to class or interface will have no effect.

    DynamicColumnAccessorAttribute

    Configure setter and getter methods for dynamic columns.

    DynamicColumnInfo

    Represents a dynamic column, which doesn't have a backing field in it's declaring type.

    DynamicColumnsStoreAttribute

    Marks target member as dynamic columns store.

    EntityDescriptor

    Stores mapping entity descriptor.

    EntityMappingBuilder<TEntity>

    Fluent mapping entity builder.

    FluentMappingBuilder

    Fluent mapping builder.

    IdentityAttribute

    Marks target column as identity column with value, generated on database side during insert operations. Identity columns will be ignored for insert and update operations with implicit column list like Insert<T>(IDataContext, T, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, TableOptions) or Update<T>(IDataContext, T, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, Nullable<String>, TableOptions) methods.

    InheritanceMapping

    Stores inheritance mapping information for single discriminator value.

    InheritanceMappingAttribute

    Defines to which type linq2db should map record based on discriminator value. You can apply this attribute to a base class or insterface, implemented by all child classes. Don't forget to define discriminator value storage column using IsDiscriminator.

    LockedMappingSchema

    Locked mapping schema.

    MappingAttribute

    MappingSchema

    Mapping schema.

    MapValue

    Stores enum mapping information for single enum value.

    MapValueAttribute

    Defines bidirectional mapping between enum field value, used on client and database value, stored in database and used in queries. Enumeration field could have multiple MapValueAttribute attributes.

    Mapping from database value to enumeration performed when you load data from database. Linq2db will search for enumeration field with MapValueAttribute with required value. If attribute with such value is not found, you will receive LinqToDBException error. If you cannot specify all possible values using MapValueAttribute, you can specify custom mapping using methods like .

    Mapping from enumeration value performed when you save it to database or use in query. If your enum field has multiple MapValueAttribute attributes, you should mark one of them as default using IsDefault property.

    NotColumnAttribute

    Marks current property or column to be ignored for mapping when explicit column mapping disabled. See IsColumnAttributeRequired.

    NotNullAttribute

    Sets nullability flag for current column to false. See NullableAttribute for more details.

    NullableAttribute

    Explicitly specifies that associated column could contain NULL values. Overrides default nullability flag from current mapping schema for property/field type. Has lower priority over CanBeNull. Using this attribute, you can allow NULL values for identity columns.

    PrimaryKeyAttribute

    Marks property or field as a member of primary key for current mapping type.

    PropertyMappingBuilder<TEntity, TProperty>

    Column or association fluent mapping builder.

    QueryFilterAttribute

    Contains reference to filter function defined by

    ResultSetIndexAttribute

    Used to mark the index of a result set when multiple result sets need to be processed for a command.

    ScalarTypeAttribute

    Overrides default scalar detection for target class or structure. By default linq2db treats primitives and structs as scalar types. This attribute allows you to mark class or struct as scalar type or mark struct as non-scalar type. Also see IsStructIsScalarType. Note that if you marks some type as scalar, you will need to define custom mapping logic between object of that type and data parameter using methods.

    SequenceNameAttribute

    Specifies value generation sequence for mapped property of field. Currently it supported only for:

    • Firebird generators
    • Oracle sequences
    • PostgreSQL serial pseudotypes/sequences

    SkipBaseAttribute

    Abstract Attribute to be used for skipping values

    SkipValuesByListAttribute

    Abstract Attribute to be used for skipping value for SkipValuesOnInsertAttribute based on Insert or SkipValuesOnUpdateAttribute based on Update/> or a custom Attribute derived from this to override ShouldSkip(Object, EntityDescriptor, ColumnDescriptor)

    SkipValuesOnInsertAttribute

    Attribute for skipping specific values on insert.

    SkipValuesOnUpdateAttribute

    Attribute for skipping specific values on update.

    TableAttribute

    Maps databse table or view to a class or interface. You can apply it to any class including non-public, nester or abstract classes. Applying it to interfaces will allow you to perform queries against target table, but you need to specify projection in your query explicitly, if you want to select data from such mapping.

    ValueConverterAttribute

    Interfaces

    IColumnChangeDescriptor

    Mapping entity column descriptor change interface.

    IEntityChangeDescriptor

    Mapping entity descriptor change interface.

    Enums

    SkipModification

    Flags for specifying skip modifications used for Attributes based on SkipBaseAttribute.
