The following example uses the default constructor of ExcludeIncludeFieldsList, which sets the

ExcludeContainedFields property to true. This means that the fields added to it are meant to be excluded. It

will fetch all Northwind customers but with some fields excluded, which are after the fetch loaded into the

entities again.

// C#

ExcludeIncludeFieldsList excludedFields = new ExcludeIncludeFieldsList();

excludedFields.Add(CustomerFields.ContactName);

excludedFields.Add(CustomerFields.Country);

// fetch a collection of customers.

EntityCollection<CustomerEntity> customers = new EntityCollection<CustomerEntity>();

SortExpression sorter =

new SortExpression(CustomerFields.CustomerId | SortOperator.Descending);

using(DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())

{

adapter.FetchEntityCollection(customers, null, 0, sorter, null, excludedFields);

}

// fetch a single customer

CustomerEntity c = new CustomerEntity("CHOPS");

using(DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())

{

adapter.FetchEntity(c, null, null, excludedFields);

}

// ...

// load the excluded fields into the entities already loaded:

using(DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())

{

adapter.FetchExcludedFields(customers, excludedFields);

adapter.FetchExcludedFields(c, excludedFields);

}

' VB.NET

Dim excludedFields As New ExcludeIncludeFieldsList()

excludedFields.Add(CustomerFields.ContactName)

excludedFields.Add(CustomerFields.Country)

' fetch a collection of customers.

Dim customers As New EntityCollection(Of CustomerEntity)()

Dim sorter As New SortExpression(CustomerFields.CustomerId Or SortOperator.Descending)

Using adapter As New DataAccessAdapter()

adapter.FetchEntityCollection(customers, Nothing, 0, sorter, Nothing, excludedFields)

End Using

' fetch a single customer

Dim c As New CustomerEntity("CHOPS")

Using adapter As New DataAccessAdapter()

adapter.FetchEntity(c, Nothing, Nothing, excludedFields)

End Using
