EntityType.Properties Property

EntityType.Properties Property

The array of entity properties (EntityProperty[] objects) that describe the properties of a specified entity type. For example, a Properties property of the SIC7011 entity type in the NavTech.NA data source is EntityProperty.Name="poi_name", EntityProperty.DisplayName="Business Name", EntityProperty.DataType="string".

Public Properties As EntityProperty()


[C#]

public System.EntityProperty[] Properties;

Remarks

• To return entity type information for a data source, use the CommonServiceSoap.GetEntityTypes method.

• The geographic entity types in the MapPoint.AP, MapPoint.BR, MapPoint.EU, MapPoint.NA, MapPoint.World, and MapPoint.WorldRoutable data sources do not contain properties.

• For more information about properties for point-of-interest entity types in the MapPoint.NAICS, NavTech.EU, and NavTech.NA data sources, see the following topics:

  NavTech.EU Entity Types and Properties

  NavTech.NA Entity Types and Properties
