EntityRelation Methods

Adds a new pair of entity field instances to the relation. Primary Key fields and Foreign Key Fields have to be added in pairs.

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.

Returns in an arraylist all IEntityFieldCore objects for the FK fields in this entityrelation

Returns in an arraylist all IFieldPersistenceInfo objects for the FK fields in this entityrelation

Returns in an arraylist all IEntityFieldCore objects for the PK fields in this entityrelation

Returns in an arraylist all IFieldPersistenceInfo objects for the PK fields in this entityrelation

Gets the IEntityFieldCore information about the FK field at index specified

Gets the IFieldPersistenceInfo data for the FK field at index specified.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the IEntityFieldCore information about the PK field at index specified

Gets the IFieldPersistenceInfo data for the PK field at index specified.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Gets per alias specified in a relation all entity names covered by that alias. This means that if an entity in a relation is based on multiple entities (through inheritance) it will return all entity names the entity is based on, from the actual entity to the root of the hierarchy path and every entity name in between.

Injects for the PK and FK side the inheritance info for this entity relation. It sets InheritanceInfoPkSideEntity and InheritanceInfoFkSideEntity using the provider specified.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Sets the aliases for the start entity and the end entity formed by the fields stored in this entityrelation. The start entity and end entity are determined based on the type of the relation and the primary key / foreign key fields. Mainly used by RelationCollection.Add().

Sets the IFieldPersistenceInfo data for the FK field at index specified.

Sets the IFieldPersistenceInfo data for the PK field at index specified.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Sets the CustomFilter on the specified relation, and passing false for ReplacesOnClause. A custom filter is a predicate(-expression) which is appended to the ON clause created from the relation specified.

Sets the CustomFilter on the specified relation. A custom filter is a predicate(-expression) which is appended to the ON clause created from the relation specified. If replacesOnClause is true, it replaces the ON clause with the filter specified.

This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return null (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class.

Generates an object from its XML representation.

Converts an object into its XML representation.

Gets per alias specified in a relation all entity names covered by that alias. This means that if an entity in a relation is based on multiple entities (through inheritance) it will return all entity names the entity is based on, from the actual entity to the root of the hierarchy path and every entity name in between.

Deserializes the object data on the xml reader into this instance

Enables / disables the artificial aliasing for target per entity relations. This method is used to enable the artificial aliasing of entities which are in a hierarchy of TargetPerEntity and which are in this relation. This is switched on for dyn/typedlist fetches to be sure dyn/typedlists with fields from multiple entities in the same inheritance hierarchy will be retrievable properly, as they need aliasing under the hood but if the developer didn't alias the entities, the query will fail because the supertype(s) aren't joined multiple types.

Serializes the object as xml to the writer specified.
