Delete Record
The entity type is the fundamental building block for describing the structure of data with the Entity Data Model (EDM). In a conceptual model, entity types are constructed from properties and they describe the structure of top-level concepts such as customers and orders in a business application. Similarly, a class definition in a computer program is a template for class instances, an entity type is a template for the entities. An entity represents a specific object such as a specific customer or order. Each entity must have a unique entity key within an entity set. An entity set is a collection of instances for a specific entity type. Entity sets, and association sets are logically grouped in an entity container. Inheritance is supported with entity types—one entity type can be derived from another.
