The base class of any DAO that manages entity persistence operations.

The following tables list the members exposed by the Dao<TEntity, TEntityCollection, TDataContext, TFilteringCriteria, TOrderingCriteria, TPagingCriteria, TCarboniteController, TTransaction, TTransactionCreationParameters> type.

Properties
Name Description
Public property Carbonite Gets the carbonite controller that hosts the current DAO and offers data store context to it. (inherited from BaseDao<TDataContext, TCarboniteController, TTransaction, TTransactionCreationParameters>).
Protected property Entities Routes an entity read request to the underlying data store, so that all TEntity entities are obtained.

Methods
Name Description
Public method Add (Overloaded) Routes an entity creation request to the underlying data store.
Public method Count (Overloaded) Routes an entity count request to the underlying data store, so that all TEntity entities are counted.
Public method Equals (Overloaded) Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (inherited from Object).
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (inherited from Object).
Public method Get (Overloaded) Routes an entity read request to the underlying data store, so that all TEntity entities are obtained.
Public method GetFirst (Overloaded) Routes an entity read request to the underlying data store, so that the first TEntity is obtained.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function. (inherited from Object).
Public method GetType (Overloaded) Gets the Type of the current instance. (inherited from Object).
Public method Initialize Initializes the current DAO with the specified host carbonite controller as its data store context provider. (inherited from BaseDao<TDataContext, TCarboniteController, TTransaction, TTransactionCreationParameters>).
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (inherited from Object).
Protected method OnAdd (Overloaded) Handles the request to create an entity into the underlying data store.
Protected method OnAreEqual By comparing the identities of two entities, this inversion control method handles the request to determine if those are equal.

The identity of each entity is obtained by reading a property named "Id", if present.
Protected method OnCount (Overloaded) Handles the request to count all TEntity entities in the underlying data store.
Protected method OnGet (Overloaded) Handles the request to obtain all TEntity entities from the underlying data store.
Protected method OnGetFirst (Overloaded) By calling the Get method to retrieve all TEntity entities and then picking the first of them, this inversion control method handles the request to obtain the first from the underlying data store.
Protected method OnInitialize Handles the request to initialize the current DAO. (inherited from BaseDao<TDataContext, TCarboniteController, TTransaction, TTransactionCreationParameters>).
Protected method OnRemove (Overloaded) Handles the request to delete an entity from the underlying data store.
Protected method OnRemoveAll Handles the request to delete all entities from the underlying data store.
Protected method OnSynchronize (Overloaded) By calling OnSynchronize(IEnumerable<TEntity>) over a single entity, this inversion control method handles the request to synchronize an entity, so that the create or update operations are accordingly performed into the underlying data source.
Protected method OnUpdate (Overloaded) Handles the request to update an entity into the underlying data store.
Public method Static ReferenceEquals Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance. (inherited from Object).
Public method Remove (Overloaded) Routes an entity deletion request to the underlying data store.
Public method RemoveAll Routes a delete all entities request to the underlying data store.
Public method Synchronize (Overloaded) Routes an entity synchronization request to the underlying data store, so that the create or update operations are accordingly performed.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (inherited from Object).
Public method Update (Overloaded) Routes an entity update request to the underlying data store.
