ObjectSet Class

The base class for all the Constructor/MDRAD typed collections.

For a list of all members of this type, see ObjectSet members.

Object Model

Syntax

[Visual Basic]
Public Class ObjectSet 
   Inherits ObjectSetCollectionBase
   Implements IConstructorSet, 

[C#]
public class ObjectSet : ObjectSetCollectionBase, IConstructorSet, 

[JScript]
public class ObjectSet extends ObjectSetCollectionBase implements IConstructorSet, 

Remarks

An ObjectSet is a collection of objects with the same type.
For example a collection of Employee objects will be declared as IEmployeeSet.
Locating an object in an ObjectSet will return an object of a specific type.
All Constructor/MDRAD object collections are inherited from the ObjectSet class.
With any Objectset the Objects within the collection can be accessed directly by Index or by Key.
When Objects are retrieved from the database they are added to the internal collection keyed on the Data table key columns.
If the key is composite then the keys will be concatenated.
When a new object is added to the collection a surrogate key is generated if one has not been supplied.
