System.Data.Linq Namespace

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The System.Data.Linq namespace contains classes that support interaction with a local database in Windows Phone applications.

For information about using a local database in your Windows Phone application, see Local Database Overview for Windows Phone.

Classes

Class	Description
Public class	Binary	Represents an immutable block of binary data.
Public class	ChangeConflictCollection	Returns a collection of objects involved in concurrency conflicts.
Public class	ChangeConflictException	Thrown when an update fails because database values have been updated since the client last read them.
Public class	ChangeSet	Provides a container to hold changes.
Public class	CompiledQuery	Provides for compilation and caching of queries for reuse.
Public class	DataContext	The data context is an object representing the database, a proxy, containing Table objects that represent the tables in the database.
Public class	DataLoadOptions	Provides for immediate loading and filtering of related data.
Public class	DBConvert	Infrastructure. Used internally to convert one type to another.
Public class	DuplicateKeyException	Thrown when an attempt is made to add an object to the identity cache by using a key that is already being used.
Public class	EntitySet<TEntity>	Provides for deferred loading and relationship maintenance for the collection side of one-to-many and one-to-one relationships in a LINQ to SQL applications.
Public class	ForeignKeyReferenceAlreadyHasValueException	Represents errors that occur when an attempt is made to change a foreign key when the entity is already loaded.
Public class	MemberChangeConflict	Represents a situation in which an attempted update fails because member values have been updated since the client last read them.
Public class	ObjectChangeConflict	Represents an update attempt with one or more optimistic concurrency conflicts.
Public class	Table<TEntity>	Represents a table for a particular type in the underlying database.

Structures

Structure	Description
Public structure	EntityRef<TEntity>	Provides for deferred loading and relationship maintenance for the singleton side of a one-to-many relationship in a LINQ to SQL application.
Public structure	Link<T>	Used to enable deferred loading of individual properties (similar to EntityRef<TEntity>).
Public structure	ModifiedMemberInfo	Holds values of members that have been modified in LINQ to SQL applications.

Interfaces

Interface	Description
Public interface	ITable	Used for weakly typed query scenarios.
Public interface	ITable<TEntity>	Represents a table for a particular type in the underlying database.

Enumerations

Enumeration	Description
Public enumeration	ChangeAction	Describes the type of change the entity will undergo when changes are submitted to the database.
Public enumeration	ConflictMode	Specifies when concurrency conflicts should be reported.
Public enumeration	RefreshMode	Defines how the Refresh method handles optimistic concurrency conflicts.
