Public methodCreate
Creates a new IEntity instance
Public methodCreate(IEntityFields)
Creates a new IEntity instance but uses a special constructor which will set the Fields object of the new IEntity instance to the passed in fields object. Implement this method to support multi-type in single table inheritance.
Public methodCreate(IEntityFieldsCore)
Creates a new entity instance but uses a special constructor which will set the Fields object of the new entity instance to the passed in fields object. Implement this method to support multi-type in single table inheritance.
(Inherited from IEntityFactoryCore.)
Public methodCreateEntityCollection
Creates a new entity collection for the entity of this factory.
Public methodCreateEntityFromEntityTypeValue
Creates a new entity instance using the GeneralEntityFactory in the generated code, using the passed in entitytype value
Public methodCreateFields
Creates, using the generated EntityFieldsFactory, the IEntityFields object for the entity to create. This method is used by internal code to create the fields object to store fetched data.
Public methodCreateHierarchyFields
Creates the hierarchy fields for the entity to which this factory belongs.
Public methodCreateHierarchyFields(String)
Creates the hierarchy fields and sets all field's actual containing object name to the name specified.
(Inherited from IEntityFactoryCore.)
Public methodCreateHierarchyRelations
