Public method GenerateNextValues Generates the next value according to the data generation algorithm.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetOutputValue Retrieves an output value by using the OutputKey.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Initialize Initializes the data generator.
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method OnGenerateNextValues Generates the next value according to the data generation algorithm.
Protected method OnGetOutputValue Retrieves the current set of results that consists of one or more values.
Protected method OnInitialize Initializes the generator.
Protected method OnNextValues Generates the next set of values for a data row.
Protected method OnSetInputValues Sets the input values for a data generator.
Protected method OnValidateInputs Validates that all the required inputs on the data generator have been set.
Public method SetExtensionHandle Sets the extension handle, as specified.
Public method SetInputValues Sets the input values for a data generator.
