EntityFactoryCore Class

Abstract base class for entity factories. The class is suffixed with 'Core' as the generated code contains another base class, EntityFactoryBase, which is the direct base class for the generated entity factories.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Create	Creates a new IEntity instance
	Create(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.
	CreateEntityCollection	Creates a new entity collection for the entity of this factory.
	CreateEntityFromEntityTypeValue	Creates a new entity instance using the GeneralEntityFactory in the generated code, using the passed in entitytype value
	CreateFields	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.
	CreateHierarchyFields	Creates the hierarchy fields for the entity to which this factory belongs.
	CreateHierarchyRelations	Creates the relations collection to the entity to join all targets so this entity can be fetched.
	CreateHierarchyRelations(String)	Creates the relations collection to the entity to join all targets so this entity can be fetched. Uses the passed in objectAlias as alias for the elements in the relations.
	CreateImpl	Implementation of the Create() method. Called from Create()
	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.)
	GetEntityFactory	This method retrieves, using the InheritanceInfoprovider, the factory for the entity represented by the values passed in.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnEntityCreated	Method which is called from Create(), after the entity has been created. Receives the newly created entity.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreate	Creates a new entity instance.
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreate(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.
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreateEntityCollection	Creates a new IEntityCollectionCore implementing collection for the entity to which this factory belongs.
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreateFields	Creates, using the generated EntityFieldsFactory, the IEntityFieldsCore object for the entity to create. This method is used by internal code to create the fields object to store fetched data.
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreateHierarchyFields	Creates the hierarchy fields for the entity to which this factory belongs.
	IEntityFactoryCoreCreateHierarchyFields(String)	Creates the hierarchy fields and sets all field's actual containing object name to the name specified.
	IEntityFactoryCoreForEntityType	Returns the actual .NET type this factory creates entities of
	IEntityFactoryCoreGetEntityFactory	This method retrieves, using the InheritanceInfoprovider, the factory for the entity represented by the values passed in.
