Overloads
| GetTable(Type) |
Returns a collection of objects of a particular type, where the type is defined by the |
| GetTable<TEntity>() |

GetTable(Type)
Returns a collection of objects of a particular type, where the type is defined by the type parameter.
public:
System::Data::Linq::ITable ^ GetTable(Type ^ type);public System.Data.Linq.ITable GetTable (Type type);member this.GetTable : Type -> System.Data.Linq.ITablePublic Function GetTable (type As Type) As ITableParameters
- type
- Type
The type of the objects to be returned.
Returns
A collection of objects defined by the type parameter.
Remarks
This is a weakly typed version of GetTable. It is important to have a weakly typed version because it is a relatively common practice to construct queries dynamically. It would be inconvenient to force the application to use reflection to call the correct generic method.
If there is no collection for a particular type, an exception is thrown.
Applies to
GetTable<TEntity>()
Returns a collection of objects of a particular type, where the type is defined by the TEntity parameter.
public:
generic <typename TEntity>
where TEntity : class System::Data::Linq::Table<TEntity> ^ GetTable();public System.Data.Linq.Table<TEntity> GetTable<TEntity> () where TEntity : class;member this.GetTable : unit -> System.Data.Linq.Table<'Entity (requires 'Entity : null)> (requires 'Entity : null)Public Function GetTable(Of TEntity As Class) () As Table(Of TEntity)Type Parameters
- TEntity
The type of the objects to be returned.
Returns
A collection of objects defined by the TEntity parameter.
Remarks
This method is the main entry point for querying. When a strongly typed DataContext is created, new generated properties encapsulate calls to this method. For example, a Customers property is generated that returns GetTable<Customer>.
If there is no collection for a particular type, an exception is thrown.
