And then it will automatically keep the foreign keys in sync when you assign the association prop...

IEnumerable:   ·          IEnumerable exists in System.Collections Namespace. ·          IEnumerable is most generic item of all and a core interface which is used to iterate over collection of specified type. ·          IEnumerable provides Enumerator for accessing collection. ·          IEnumerable is forward only collection likes LinkedList.
