## 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.EdmReferentialConstraint
```

## Summary

Represents a referential constraint that defines the relationship between properties
in a navigation property.

## Remarks

Referential constraints specify how foreign key relationships work in OData,
mapping properties from the source entity to properties in the target entity.
They are analogous to foreign key constraints in relational databases.

## Constructors

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

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

#### Syntax

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

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

Initializes a new instance of the [EdmReferentialConstraint](/odata-mcp/api-reference/Microsoft/OData/Mcp/Core/Models/EdmReferentialConstraint) class
with the specified property names.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public EdmReferentialConstraint(string property, string referencedProperty)
```

#### Parameters

| Name                 | Type     | Description                                                    |
| -------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `property`           | `string` | The name of the property in the source entity type.            |
| `referencedProperty` | `string` | The name of the referenced property in the target entity type. |

#### Exceptions

| Exception           | Description                                                           |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ArgumentException` | Thrown when *property* or *referencedProperty* 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' }} />  Property

Gets or sets the name of the property in the source entity type.

#### Syntax

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

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The name of the property that acts as the foreign key in the source entity.

#### Remarks

This property references a property in the entity type that contains the navigation property.

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

Gets or sets the name of the referenced property in the target entity type.

#### Syntax

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

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The name of the property in the target entity that is referenced by the foreign key.

#### Remarks

This is typically a key property in the target entity type. The relationship
is established by matching the value of the Property with the ReferencedProperty.

## Methods

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