EntityServiceOption Enumeration

The EntityServiceOption is used to determine whether an EntityManager should connect to a local or distributed Entity Service.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Enum EntityServiceOption 
   Inherits System.Enum
   Implements System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

'Usage
 
Dim instance As EntityServiceOption

public enum EntityServiceOption : System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Members

Member	Description
UseDefaultService	Use the IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeConfig.ObjectServer.IsDistributed setting from the IdeaBlade Configuration file.
UseDistributedService	Ignore the IdeaBlade Configuration file setting and always use a distributed service for the EntityManager.
UseLocalService	Ignore the IdeaBlade Configuration file setting and always use a local service for the EntityManager.

Remarks

By default an EntityManager will always use the IdeaBladeConfig.ObjectServer.IsDistributed setting from the IdeaBlade Configuration file to determine whether to communicate with a local or distributed Entity Service. You can override this behavior by using an EntityManager constructor that takes an EntityServiceOption parameter.

The EntityServiceOption setting can be useful if you need to use both local and distributed data sources within the same application. You can construct one EntityManager with the UseLocalService option, and then construct a second EntityManager with the default setting.

If you use the UseDistributedService value, then you must ensure that the IdeaBlade Configuration file contains sufficient information to locate the Entity Service.
