EntityExpression Methods |
The EntityExpression type exposes the following members.
Methods| 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.) |
