How to define a collection in a POCO in Entity Framework 4?
- by Stef
Lets say I've a Team class which contains 0 or more Players.
The Player class is easy:
public class Player
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Team Team { get; set; }
}
But whats the best to define the Team class?
Option 1
public class Team
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ICollection<Player> Players { get; set; }
}
Option 2:
public class Team
{
public Team()
{
Players = new Collection<Player>();
}
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ICollection<Player> Players { get; set; }
}
Option 3:
public class Team
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public IQueryable<Player> Players { get; set; }
}
Option 4:
public class Team
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ObjectSet<Player> Players { get; set; }
}
