| InheritanceHierarchiesFinder Class |
Class which finds all inheritance hierarchies and stores them per entity.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore.EntityModel
Assembly: SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore (in SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore.dll) Version: 5.0.0.0 (5.0.0)
SyntaxThe InheritanceHierarchiesFinder type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | InheritanceHierarchiesFinder |
Initializes a new instance of the InheritanceHierarchiesFinder class.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | HierarchyPerEntity |
Gets the entities in the same inheritance hierarchy stored per entity.
|
| HierarchyRoots |
Gets the hierarchy roots found.
|
| SubHierarchyPerEntity |
Gets the entities in the same sub hierarchy stored per entity. Sub-hierarchy is a hierarchy of entities in the same inheritance hierarchy which are connected and
have the same inheritance type as the root of the hierarchy.
|
| SubHierarchyRoots |
Gets the sub hierarchy roots found
|
| SubtypesPerSupertype |
Gets the entities which are a direct or indirect subtype of the supertype, stored per supertype.
|
| SubtypesPerSupertypeInSubHierarchy |
Gets the subtypes in same sub hierarchy per supertype. Sub-hierarchy is a hierarchy of entities in the same inheritance hierarchy which are connected and
have the same inheritance type as the root of the hierarchy.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FindHierarchies |
Finds the hierarchies. The results are stored in the properties of this Finder.
|
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
RemarksHierarchy finding is typically the same as finding the separate connected sub-graphs in a graph structure, which can be done
in various ways: in a non-directed graph it's easy with a DFS based algorithm, however in directed graphs it's much harder and one would require
the transitive closure and use that to find the different hierarchies.
