EntityField Methods

The EntityField type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodClone
Creates a deep copy of this IEntityField object
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreClone.)
Protected methodCloneInternals
Clones the internally referenced objects of this instance, so this instance after this method contains clones of its referenced internal objects.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodCompareTo
Compares the given entityfield instance with this instance using a value compare with case sensitive comparer logic. this is done by comparing the name, the source schema, object and column name. If there is any mismatch, the comparisson is stopped and the result of the mismatching compare is returned.
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreCompareTo(Object).)
Protected methodEntityFieldCoreInterpretGetValueInternal
Internal implementation of the method which interprets this field in the entity passed in.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreEquals(Object).)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodForcedCurrentValueWrite(Object)
Overwrites the current value with the value passed. This bypasses value checking and field properties.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodForcedCurrentValueWrite(Object, Object)
Overwrites the current value with the value passed. This bypasses value checking and field properties like readonly.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodGetDiscriminatorColumnFlag
Gets the discriminator column flag.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Overrides the GetHashCode() method. It will return the hashcode of the value of the field as the hashcode.
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreGetHashCode.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodReadAdditionalElementsFromXml
Reads the additional elements from XML. Reader is located on an unknown element. Implementers of this method have to handle this element.
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreReadAdditionalElementsFromXml(XmlReader).)
Protected methodReadDefinitionFromXml
Deserializes the field's definition data on the xml reader into a field instance
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodSetAggregateFunction
Sets the EntityField's AggregateFunctionToApply property
Public methodSetExpression
Sets the Entity Field's ExpressionToToApply property
Public methodSetFieldAlias
Sets the field alias.
Public methodSetObjectAlias
Sets the entity field's ObjectAlias property to the specified value
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodWriteAdditionalElementsToXml
Writes the additional elements to XML.
(Overrides EntityFieldCoreWriteAdditionalElementsToXml(XmlWriter).)
Protected methodWriteDefinitionAsXml
Serializes the field's definition as xml to the writer specified.
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Protected methodWriteXml(XmlWriter, XmlFormatAspect)
Writes the XML of this Field object to the writer specified
(Inherited from EntityFieldCore.)
Public methodWriteXml(XmlFormatAspect, XmlDocument, XmlNode)
Converts this EntityField to an XmlNode.
