Generator Methods

Adds the file pair to dependent upon files cache.

Adds the file to destination filenames cache.

Adds the list specified as obsolete files, to be deleted or moved after the runqueue has been executed.

Applies the element selection rule specified on all the elements matching its scope and filters the elements out which result in false after applying the rule. This method alters the sets of elements, so use this method in combination of PushElementSets and PopElementSets.

Clears the dependent upon files cache.

Clears the destination filenames cache.

Creates the dependent upon store in cache under the key 'dependentUponFilenames', if it's not already there. The store is a dictionary(Of string, string) which has as key the filename of the dependening file and as value the filename of the file it depents upon.

Creates the destination filenames store in cache under the key 'destinationFilenames' if it's not already there. The store is a List(Of string) object.

Deletes (or moves, if the setting is switched off) all files added as 'obsolete' and which aren't generated through this generator. Call this method after the whole runqueue has been executed.

Checks whether the driver of the driver ID current set in this generator supports the aspect specified

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 the list of catalogs in scope of the current cycle the generator is executed for. The catalogs aren't sorted. If you want to process them in a given order a sort has to be applied after this method.

Gets the compiled include assembly from cache for the active driverid

Gets the compiled assembly from cache for the active driverid

Gets the database name of the driver associated with the driver ID currently set in this generator

Gets the database name of the driver associated with the driver ID specified

Gets the database short name of the driver associated with the driver ID currently set in this generator

Gets the database short name of the driver associated with the driver ID specified

Gets the provider specific net type name to be used for type enums for the dbtype specified for the database with the driverid specified.

Gets the dependent upon filenames store from the task cache.

Gets the destination filenames store from the task cache.

Gets the driver short name for the driver associated with the driver ID currently set in this generator

Gets the driver short name for the driver associated with the driver ID specified

Gets the encoding to use, which is a convert from the EncodingType to proper encoding

Gets the external type name for the type specified, if any, for the active database. It retrieves this from the target framework of the entity model, as everything derives from that. If no external type is defined for the type specified, it will return null, so the caller knows the type is to be treated as-is.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the name of the template bindings the templateID has been defined in, taking into account the templateBindingsName specified and the language set)

Gets the template file contents for the templateID specified for the set platform - language. It will start with the templatebindings with the highest precedence and will choose the first templateID binding found for the platform - language combination.

Gets the template file contents for the templateID specified for the set platform - language and as specified in the templatebindings with the name specified.

Gets the template filename for the first templateID encountered in the ordered list of templatebindings

Gets the template filename for the templateID specified in the templatebindings specified.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Gets the cached unique relationship name for relationship specified. The relationship has to be in scope of the generator

Gets the value from cycle cache. It uses the runqueueCacheKey to obtain the runqueue cache and the key to obtain the value in that runqueue cache.

Gets the value from the run queue cache for the key specified. If key is null, the default for T is returned.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Pops the destination root folder from the stack. If there's just one value left, no action is performed.

Pops the element sets from internal stacks, if they were pushed onto these before using a PushElementSets call. If there are no pushed sets, this method is a no-op.

Pops the root namespace to use from the stack. If there's just one value left, no action is performed.

Produces the real attribute string to emit into the output based on the attribute string passed in and the current language specified.

Pushes the element sets onto internal stacks so they're presevered: if the sets of elements (entities, typed lists etc.) are changed, after calling this method, they can be restored by calling PopElementSets().

Pushes the new destination root folder onto the stack of destination root folders. Using this method the DestinationRootFolder is set to a new value. If the folder specified doesn't exist, it's created.

Pushes the new root namespace to use onto the stack of rootnamespaces. Using this method the RootNamespaceToUse is set to a new value.

Removes the file from destination filenames cache.

Removes the file pair from dependent upon files cache, with the key fromFile

Sets the call backs to use for this generator

Starts the generation process. It executes the code generation task specified.

Stores the compilation results for include templates. Include templates are only compiled when used inside TDL templates

Stores the compilation results templates.

Stores the compiled include templates assembly in cache.

Stores the compiled templates assembly in cache.

Stores the value specified in run queue cache. If there's already a value for this key, it's overwritten.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
