## Definition

**Assembly:** Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.dll

**Namespace:** Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models

**Inheritance:** System.Object

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmNavigationPropertyBinding
```

## Summary

Represents a navigation property binding in an entity set.

## Remarks

Navigation property bindings establish the connection between navigation properties
and the entity sets that contain the target entities. They are essential for
defining how relationships are resolved in the OData service.

## Constructors

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor

Initializes a new instance of the [EdmNavigationPropertyBinding](/odata-mcp/api-reference/Microsoft/OData/Mcp/Core/Models/EdmNavigationPropertyBinding) class.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public EdmNavigationPropertyBinding()
```

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor

Initializes a new instance of the [EdmNavigationPropertyBinding](/odata-mcp/api-reference/Microsoft/OData/Mcp/Core/Models/EdmNavigationPropertyBinding) class
with the specified path and target.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public EdmNavigationPropertyBinding(string path, string target)
```

#### Parameters

| Name     | Type     | Description                          |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `path`   | `string` | The path of the navigation property. |
| `target` | `string` | The target entity set name.          |

#### Exceptions

| Exception           | Description                                           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `ArgumentException` | Thrown when *path* or *target* is null or whitespace. |

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor <DocsBadge text="Inherited" variant="neutral" />

<Note>Inherited from `object`</Note>

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public Object()
```

## Properties

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Path

Gets or sets the path of the navigation property.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public required string Path { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The navigation property path, which may be a simple property name or a more complex path.

#### Remarks

The path identifies which navigation property this binding applies to. For simple cases,
this is just the property name. For more complex scenarios involving inheritance or
containment, the path may include type casts or additional segments.

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Target

Gets or sets the target entity set name.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public required string Target { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The name of the entity set that contains the target entities for this navigation property.

#### Remarks

When following this navigation property, the target entities will be found in the
entity set specified by this property. The target entity set must be defined in
the same entity container.

## Methods

### <Icon icon="code-merge" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Equals <DocsBadge text="Override" variant="info" />
