public IEnumerable Translate( 
   Type elementType,
   DbDataReader reader
)

Parameters

elementType

The type of the IEnumerable(T) to be returned.

The algorithm for matching columns in the result to fields and properties in the object works as follows:

• If a field or property is mapped to a particular column name, that column name is expected in the resultset.
• If a field or property is not mapped, a column with the same name as the field or property is expected in the resultset.
• The comparison is performed by looking for a case-sensitive match first. If this match is not found, a subsequent search occurs for a case-insensitive match.

The query must return all the tracked fields and properties of the object (except those that are loaded on a deferred basis) when all the following conditions are true:

• T is an entity explicitly tracked by the DataContext.
• ObjectTrackingEnabled is true.
• The entity has a primary key.

Otherwise an exception is thrown.

reader

The IDataReader to be converted.

Return Value
