IdentitySequence

Overview

Instances of the IdentitySequence class are used by RemoteTable to represent AutoInc (also called Identity or Sequence) fields. Its values are used by DABindingList or LinqDataAdapter to retrieve values of AutoInc fields when a new data row is inserted.

Note: Identity values represented by this class always start from 0. The next sequence value equals the previous value minus 1.
