Constructors

EntityKey()	Initializes a new instance of the EntityKey class.
EntityKey(String, IEnumerable<EntityKeyMember>)	Initializes a new instance of the EntityKey class with an entity set name and an IEnumerable<T> collection of EntityKeyMember objects.
EntityKey(String, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<String,Object>>)	Initializes a new instance of the EntityKey class with an entity set name and a generic KeyValuePair collection.
EntityKey(String, String, Object)	Initializes a new instance of the EntityKey class with an entity set name and specific entity key pair.

Properties

EntityContainerName	Gets or sets the name of the entity container.
EntityKeyValues	Gets or sets the key values associated with this EntityKey.
EntityNotValidKey	Gets a singleton EntityKey identifying an entity resulted from a failed TREAT.
EntitySetName	Gets or sets the name of the entity set.
IsTemporary	Gets a value that indicates whether the EntityKey is temporary.
NoEntitySetKey	Gets a singleton EntityKey by which a read-only entity is identified.

Methods

Equals(EntityKey)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified EntityKey .
Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.
GetEntitySet(MetadataWorkspace)	Gets the entity set for this entity key from the given metadata workspace.
GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for the current EntityKey object. GetHashCode() is suitable for hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table.
OnDeserialized(StreamingContext)	Helper method that is used to deserialize an EntityKey.
OnDeserializing(StreamingContext)	Helper method that is used to deserialize an EntityKey.

Operators
