SharedTypeEntity(String, Type)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a given shared type entity type in the model.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder SharedTypeEntity (string name, Type type);abstract member SharedTypeEntity : string * Type -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder
override this.SharedTypeEntity : string * Type -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilderPublic Overridable Function SharedTypeEntity (name As String, type As Type) As EntityTypeBuilderParameters
- name
- String
The name of the entity type to be configured.
- type
- Type
The CLR type of the entity type to be configured.
Returns
An object that can be used to configure the entity type.
Remarks
If an entity type with the provided name is not already part of the model, a new entity type with provided CLR type will be added to the model as shared type entity type.
Shared type entity type is an entity type which can share CLR type with other types in the model but has a unique name and always identified by the name.
See Modeling entity types and Shared entity types for more information and examples.
Applies to
SharedTypeEntity(String, Type, Action<EntityTypeBuilder>)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a given shared type entity type in the model.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelBuilder SharedTypeEntity (string name, Type type, Action<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder> buildAction);abstract member SharedTypeEntity : string * Type * Action<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder> -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelBuilder
override this.SharedTypeEntity : string * Type * Action<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder> -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelBuilderPublic Overridable Function SharedTypeEntity (name As String, type As Type, buildAction As Action(Of EntityTypeBuilder)) As ModelBuilderParameters
- name
- String
The name of the entity type to be configured.
- type
- Type
The CLR type of the entity type to be configured.
- buildAction
- Action<EntityTypeBuilder>
An action that performs configuration of the entity type.
Returns
The same ModelBuilder instance so that additional configuration calls can be chained.
Remarks
If an entity type with the provided name is not already part of the model, a new entity type with provided CLR type will be added to the model as shared type entity type.
Shared type entity type is an entity type which can share CLR type with other types in the model but has a unique name and always identified by the name.
This overload allows configuration of the entity type to be done in line in the method call rather than being chained after a call to Entity(String). This allows additional configuration at the model level to be chained after configuration for the entity type.
See Modeling entity types and Shared entity types for more information and examples.
Applies to
SharedTypeEntity<TEntity>(String, Action<EntityTypeBuilder<TEntity>>)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a given shared type entity type in the model.
public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelBuilder SharedTypeEntity<TEntity> (string name, Action<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder<TEntity>> buildAction) where TEntity : class;abstract member SharedTypeEntity : string * Action<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.EntityTypeBuilder<'Entity>> -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelBuilder (requires 'Entity : null)

- TEntity
The CLR type of the entity type to be configured.
Parameters
- name
- String
The name of the entity type to be configured.
- buildAction
- Action<EntityTypeBuilder<TEntity>>
An action that performs configuration of the entity type.
Returns
The same ModelBuilder instance so that additional configuration calls can be chained.

Shared type entity type is an entity type which can share CLR type with other types in the model but has a unique name and always identified by the name.
This overload allows configuration of the entity type to be done inline in the method call rather than being chained after a call to Entity<TEntity>(). This allows additional configuration at the model level to be chained after configuration for the entity type.

Applies to
SharedTypeEntity<TEntity>(String)
Returns an object that can be used to configure a given shared type entity type in the model.

- TEntity
The CLR type of the entity type to be configured.
Parameters
- name
- String
The name of the entity type to be configured.
Returns
An object that can be used to configure the entity type.
