Class Overview

A CSDL EntityType element.

The EntityType element represents the structure of a top-level concept, such as a customer or order, in a conceptual model. An entity type is a template for instances of entity types in an application. Each template contains the following information:

  • A unique name. (Required.)
  • An entity key that is defined by one or more properties. (Required.)
  • Properties for containing data. (Optional.)
  • Navigation properties that allow for navigation from one end of an association to the other end. (Optional.)

    In an application, an instance of an entity type represents a specific object (such as a specific customer or order). Each instance of an entity type must have a unique entity key within an entity set.

    Two entity type instances are considered equal only if they are of the same type and the values of their entity keys are the same.
