RelationCollectionExpression Class
Specific expression class which represents a relation collection, one or more relation objects. This collection is simple, it just contains the relation collections and has no real type. It's used as an intermediate result for joinexpression evaluation if more than one join is present and is also the source of a selectexpression, the final result of a joinexpression hierarchie.

Constructors
  NameDescription
Public methodRelationCollectionExpression

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAlias
Gets or sets the Alias assigned to this set.
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public propertyCanReduce
Indicates that the node can be reduced to a simpler node. If this returns true, Reduce() can be called to produce the reduced form.
(Inherited from Expression.)
Public propertyContainedAliases
Gets or sets the AliasContainer which contains the aliases inside this direct set which are reachable only INSIDE this set. If null, it has no aliases directly inside this set, it can be the source might have contained aliases.
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public propertyIsExtractionLocked
Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance is extraction locked, which means a where/orderby extractor won't touch it.
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public propertyNodeType
Gets the node type of this Expression.
(Inherited from CommonExpression.)
Public propertyRelationsToUse
Gets the relations of this RelationCollectionExpression object.
Public propertyRequiresProjection
Flag which is set if this set requires a projection to be usable. This flag is later on used to determine if a projection has to be injected into the processing result of this set if there's none defined (true), or not (false). Default is false;
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public propertySource
Gets or sets the source expression of the select
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public propertyType
Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents.
(Inherited from CommonExpression.)

Methods
  NameDescription
Protected methodAccept
Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression).
(Inherited from Expression.)
Public methodAddRelation(IDynamicRelation)
Adds the relation.
Public methodAddRelation(IEntityRelation)
Adds the relation.
Public methodAddRelations
Adds the relations passed in.
Public methodAssignNewAliasIfRequired
Assigns a new alias to this set, if necessary
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from 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 methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodHandle
Handles this instance using the specified handler.
(Overrides SetExpressionHandle(ScopeHandlerBase).)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodNewAliasAssigned
A new alias was set, using AssignNewAliasIfRequired. Use this method to map a wrapped expression to the alias set in the tracker passed in.
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public methodReduce
Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced.
(Inherited from Expression.)
Public methodReduceAndCheck
Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced.
(Inherited from Expression.)
Public methodReduceExtensions
Reduces the expression to a known node type (that is not an Extension node) or just returns the expression if it is already a known type.
(Inherited from Expression.)
Public methodSetRequiresProjectionFlag
Sets the RequiresProjection flag if this expression isn't an EntityExpression
(Inherited from SetExpression.)
Public methodToString
Returns a textual representation of the Expression.
(Overrides ExpressionToString.)
Protected methodVisitChildren
Reduces the node and then calls the visitor delegate on the reduced expression. The method throws an exception if the node is not reducible.
(Inherited from Expression.)
