EntityExpression Methods

Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression).

Adds the hint specification to the list of specifications on this entity expression

Adds the hints.

Adds the relation. The relation passed in is necessary to reach this entity from the root entity of the query.

Adds the relations passed in.

Adds the temporal table predicate specified

Assigns a new alias to this set, if necessary

Creates a clone of the passed in entityexpression with a different entity type

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 from clause directives as clones.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the representing object for this entity for dynamic relation side. If this entity wraps a tvf call, this tvf call is returned (and which gets this entity's alias) otherwise this entity's type is returned.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Handles this instance using the specified handler.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

A new alias was set, using AssignNewAliasIfRequired. Use this method to map a wrapped expression to the alias set in the tracker passed in.

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.

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.

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.

Sets the RequiresProjection flag if this expression isn't an EntityExpression

Returns a textual representation of the Expression.

Reduces the node and then calls the visitor delegate on the reduced expression. The method throws an exception if the node is not reducible.
