You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to create an application. The
application connects to a Microsoft SQL Server database. The application has two DataTable objects
that reference the Customers and Orders tables in the database. The application contains the
following code segment. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
01 Dim customerOrders As New DataSet()
02 customerOrders.EnforceConstraints = True
03 Dim ordersFK As New ForeignKeyConstraint(“ordersFK”,
04 customerOrders.Tables(“Customers”).Columns(“CustomerID”),
05 customerOrders.Tables(“Orders”).Columns(“CustomerID”))
06
07 customerOrders.Tables(“Orders”).Constraints.Add(ordersFK)
You need to ensure that an exception is thrown when you attempt to delete Customer records that
have related Order records. Which code segment should you insert at line 06?

A.
ordersFK.DeleteRule = Rule.SetDefault

B.
ordersFK.DeleteRule = Rule.None

C.
ordersFK.DeleteRule = Rule.SetNull

D.
ordersFK.DeleteRule = Rule.Cascade

Explanation:
None No action taken on related rows, but exceptions are generated.
Cascade Delete or update related rows. This is the default.
SetNull Set values in related rows to DBNull.
SetDefault Set values in related rows to the value contained in the DefaultValue property. SetDefault
specifies that all child column values be set to the default value.
