Operation Property

Defines the type of data operation that this context supports.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property Operation As String

C#

public string Operation {get; set;}

Property Value

The name of the operation performed, following the convention of starting with a verb ("Fetch", "Update", "Add", "Remove") and ending with a noun ("Activity", "Resource", "Reminder").

Remarks

Inheritors should set this property within the constructor of their DataContext subclass. The standard implementation of IDataFetch and IDataUpdate on WebScheduleDataProviderBase will use the operation to dispatch the DataContext to the appropriate method during data binding.

If the operation name is not recognized by the implementation of IDataFetch and IDataUpdate, then an ArgumentException may be thrown by the data provider. Developers creating their own custom data provider through inheritance may override the implementation of those interface methods with their own, to route custom DataContext subclasses to their own operations. See the documentation on creating custom data providers for further information.
