| EntityFieldExpression Class |
Specific expression class which represents an EntityField(2) object.
It could be that the field is in a related entity (e.g. od.Order.Customer.Country), and relations are necessary to access the
field. These relations are then part of this entityfield expression.

SyntaxThe EntityFieldExpression type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | EntityFieldExpression(IEntityFieldCore, SetAlias) |
Initializes a new instance of the EntityFieldExpression class.
|
| EntityFieldExpression(IEntityFieldCore, Type, SetAlias) |
Initializes a new instance of the EntityFieldExpression class.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AliasOfContainingSet |
Gets or sets the alias of the field containing set.
|
| CanReduce | Indicates that the node can be reduced to a simpler node. If this returns true, Reduce() can be called to produce the reduced form. (Inherited from Expression.) |
| FieldAsString |
Gets the field as string.
|
| FieldObject |
Gets or sets the Field
|
| NodeType |
Gets the node type of this Expression.
(Inherited from CommonExpression.) |
| RelationsToUse |
Gets the relations required to access this field. Can be null (which means: no relations needed)
|
| Type |
Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents.
(Inherited from CommonExpression.) |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Accept | Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression). (Inherited from Expression.) |
| AddRelations |
Adds the relations passed in. Relations are added to this entityfield expression if the field is in a related entity and the
relations contained inside this field object are required to access the field.
|
| CreateCloneWithDifferentType |
Creates a clone of this EntityFieldExpression with the same elements and a different 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.) |
| GetFieldObjectWithProperObjectAlias |
Gets the field object with proper object alias. It will apply the set AliasOfContainingSet if the field object's ObjectAlias is empty
|
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Handle |
Handles this instance using the specified handler.
(Overrides CommonExpressionHandle(ScopeHandlerBase).) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| 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.) |
| 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.) |
