Collection Properties in Entity Framework

• Jun 11, 2019

The example below illustrates how to implement Collection Properties in an Entity Framework Code First class.

C#

public virtual IList<AssociatedObject> Association { get; set; }
[DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC.AggregatedAttribute]
public virtual IList<AggregatedObject> AggregatedAssociation { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Overridable Property Association() As IList(Of AssociatedObject)
<DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC.AggregatedAttribute>
Public Overridable Property AggregatedAssociation() As IList(Of AggregatedObject)

Note that the collection properties should be declared as virtual in EF.
