Extension Methods

  Name Description
Public Extension Method AddExtension(Guid) Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with newly instantiated extension of the identified domain type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method AddExtension(Type) Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of the specified type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method AddExtension(DomainClassInfo) Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of the specified domain type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method AddExtension(ExtensionElement) Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a specific extension. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of the same type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method AddExtension<T>() Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of a particular type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of the same type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method CanDelete Deletes the element from the model. (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetAllExtensions Return an enumerable that performs a breadth first traversal across the tree of extension elements embedded in this ModelElement. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetBaseElement Returns the root of the virtual MEL in which the specified ModelElement is participating. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetExtension(Guid) Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetExtension(Type) Overloaded. Get the ExtensionElement of the specified type from the available extensions of this ModelElement. If the element has no such extension then an InvalidOperationException will be raised. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetExtension(DomainClassInfo) Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetExtension<T>() Overloaded. Get the ExtensionElement of the specified type from the available extensions of this ModelElement. If the element has no such extension then an InvalidOperationException will be raised. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetLocks Get the lock flags for this element. This will include any locks enabled on the Partition containing the element. (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsExtendedBy(Guid) Overloaded. Query whether this ModelElement is currently extended by an ExtensionElement of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsExtendedBy(Type) Overloaded. Query whether this ModelElement is currently extended by an ExtensionElement of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsExtendedBy(DomainClassInfo) Overloaded. Query whether this ModelElement is currently extended by an ExtensionElement of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsLocked Test whether this element has any of a specified set of locks (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method RemoveExtension(Type) Overloaded. Remove any extension of this ModelElement that is of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method RemoveExtension(Guid) Overloaded. Remove any extension of the specified ModelElement that is of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method RemoveExtension(DomainClassInfo) Overloaded. Remove any extension of the specified ModelElement that is of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method RemoveExtension(ExtensionElement) Overloaded. Remove a specified ExtensionElement from the extensions of this ModelElement. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method SetLocks Set the lock flags of this element (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method TryGetExtension(Guid) Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method TryGetExtension(Type) Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method TryGetExtension(DomainClassInfo) Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method TryGetExtension<T>() Overloaded. Get the ExtensionElement of the specified type from the available extensions of this ModelElement. If this element has no such extension then the result will be null. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

BinaryLinkShape is the class from which all connector shapes derive. When you define a connector class in the DSL Definition, its default base class is BinaryLinkShape, unless you explicitly specify another connector class as the base.

A BinaryLinkShape is usually the graphical representation of an instance of a domain relationship. The domain relationship represents conceptual information, and the link shape or connector represents its visible appearance on the diagram. In the DSL Definition, you define a Diagram Element Map between the connector class and the domain relationship. At run time, you can access the domain relationship instance by using the property ModelElement. To navigate from one element to another, it is usually better to navigate first to the model element and then traverse the domain relationships, instead of traversing connectors on the diagram.

For more information and examples, see [redirect] How to: Navigate and Update a Diagram.

Warnung

Most of the methods of this type are defined in BinaryLinkShapeBase.

Examples

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
