Adds a new entity to the store. The supertype name is enough to build the complete hierarchy.

Adds a new entity to the store. The supertype name is enough to build the complete hierarchy.

Builds the hierarchy information from the added information though AddEntityInfo calls.

Determines if typeToCheck is a subtype of superType.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Gets all entity names in the provider.

Retrieves the factory for the entity represented by the values passed in, or null if entityName isn't present. The values have to represent an entity of the type entityName or a subtype of that type.

Gets the entity fields for the entity passed in. Only the fields defined in the entity are returned

Gets the entity names on hierarchy path, from this entity to the root starting with the root of the hierarchy and ending with the name specified as entityName. If entityName entity is a root entity, this collection contains one name: entityName.

Gets a predicateexpression which filters on the entity with type 'entityName'. Example of a valid name is 'CustomerEntity'.

Gets a predicateexpression which filters on the entity with type 'entityName'. Example of a valid name is 'CustomerEntity'.

Gets the entity type filters for the entity names specified. It will use the object aliases specified for the entity names. It will filter out supertypes if the subtype is also in the list. Routine is used to add type filters to typedlists automatically. It will return null (so no type filters) if siblings are detected, i.e. a name is detected that's not in the hierarchy path of the deepest leaf.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the hierarchy field alias to use for targeting this field in an entity fetch. The alias is of the format FentityIndex_fieldIndex which is the same alias as for the fields returned by GetHierarchyFields.

This method returns an array of IEntityFieldCore objects which contains all fields of all entities on the path: entityName upwards to the root and entityName downwards to all leafs reachable from entityName, including entityName.

This method returns all relations from the lowest entity found in the passed in entityNames to the root and from the lowest entityName downwards to all the reachable leafs from entityName. All relations to the root are INNER JOIN, all relations from the lowest entityName to leafs are LEFT JOIN.

This method returns all relations from the entityName to the root and from the entityName downwards to all the reachable leafs from entityName. All relations to the root are INNER JOIN, all relations from entityName to leafs are LEFT JOIN

This method returns all relations from the entityName to the root and from the entityName downwards to all the reachable leafs from entityName, if includePathsToReachableLeafs is set to true. All relations to the root are INNER JOIN, all relations from entityName to leafs are LEFT JOIN

Gets the type of the hierarchy.

Gets an IInheritanceInfo object with the inheritance information for the entity with the supplied name.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Determines whether the entity with the name specified is in an inheritance hierarchy or not.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
