Exemplos

O exemplo de código seguinte demonstra como obter um espaço de trabalho de metadados a partir da ligação e depois usar esse espaço de trabalho de metadados para obter informações sobre os contentores de entidade no modelo de dados especificado. Note que o espaço de trabalho de metadados é um componente de serviço em tempo de execução que oferece suporte para a recuperação de metadados.

O exemplo de código usa a CSpace e a SSpace para especificar o modelo. O CSpace representa o nome padrão para o modelo conceptual. Representa SSpace o nome padrão do modelo de armazenamento.

O GetEntityContainers método obtém uma coleção de contentores de entidades e depois itera através da coleção para obter cada conjunto de entidades e conjunto de associações no contentor especificado. O exemplo de código utiliza o Modelo AdventureWorks.

Observações

A nível conceptual, a EntityContainer classe representa um contentor que será mapeado para um objeto de base de dados no esquema de metadados de armazenamento. Ao nível de armazenamento, a EntityContainer classe representa uma descrição das relações de tabela e/ou chave que persistem dados para aplicações construídas sobre o modelo. Para mais informações sobre os contentores de entidade num modelo conceptual, veja Contentor de entidade.
