Framework Methods

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 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 setting definitions filtered on targetElement.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Parses the definition pointed at by rootNode into a new FrameworkDefinition object.

Parses the framework settings definition pointed at by rootnode into three output lists.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
