EntityExpression Methods | 
The EntityExpression type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression).  (Inherited from Expression.) | |
| AddHint | 
            Adds the hint specification to the list of specifications on this entity expression
              (Inherited from HintableElementExpression.) | |
| AddHints | 
            Adds the hints.
              (Inherited from HintableElementExpression.) | |
| AddRelation | 
            Adds the relation. The relation passed in is necessary to reach this entity from the root entity of the query.
              | |
| AddRelations | 
            Adds the relations passed in. 
              | |
| AddTemporalTablePredicate | 
            Adds the temporal table predicate specified
              (Inherited from HintableElementExpression.) | |
| AppendUnionedQuery | 
            Appends the query specified as a unioned query with the operator specified. 
              (Inherited from SetExpression.) | |
| AssignNewAliasIfRequired | 
            Assigns a new alias to this set, if necessary
              (Inherited from SetExpression.) | |
| CreateCloneWithDifferentEntityType | 
            Creates a clone of the passed in entityexpression with a different entity type
              | |
| 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.) | |
| GetFromClauseDirectiveClones | 
            Gets from clause directives as clones.
              (Inherited from HintableElementExpression.) | |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function.   (Inherited from Object.) | |
| GetRepresentingObjectForDynamicRelationSide | 
            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.
              | |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance.  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| Handle | 
            Handles this instance using the specified handler.
              (Overrides SetExpressionHandle(ScopeHandlerBase).) | |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.  (Inherited from Object.) | |
| MergeUnionedQueries | 
            Merges the specified union list into the set expression's unionlist.
              (Inherited from SetExpression.) | |
| NewAliasAssigned | 
            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.) | |
| Reduce | 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.) | |
| ReduceAndCheck | 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.) | |
| ReduceExtensions | 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.) | |
| SetRequiresProjectionFlag | 
            Sets the RequiresProjection flag if this expression isn't an EntityExpression
              (Inherited from SetExpression.) | |
| ToString | 
            Returns a textual representation of the Expression.
              (Overrides ExpressionToString.) | |
| VisitChildren | 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.) |
