Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.Administration
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsReverse As Boolean
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As AssociationGroupAssociationReference
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.IsReverse
public bool IsReverse { get; }

Property value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the association referenced by this object is in the same direction; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The AssociationReference must be marked as reverse, if it is semantically opposite of other associations in the AssociationGroup. For example, an association between an Order and a Customer can be traversed in two directions:

Obtaining the Orders placed by the given Customer.

Obtaining Customer who placed the given order.

These two operations are semantically opposite; however, they are related to the same logical relationship. Therefore, the AssociationNavigator objects that correspond to these operations would be referenced from the same AssociationGroup. Because the operations are opposite, one of them must be marked as reverse, depending on the location of the AssociationGroup.
