Extension Methods

  Name Description
Public Extension Method AsBinary Returns a valid binary type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a binary type. Otherwise, it will return a bad binary type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsCollection Returns a valid collection type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a collection type. Otherwise, it will return a bad collection type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsComplex Returns a valid complex type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a complex type. Otherwise, it will return a bad complex type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsDecimal Returns a valid decimal type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a decimal type. Otherwise, it will return a bad decimal type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsEntity Returns a valid entity type reference to the type definition if this reference is of an entity type. Otherwise, it will return a bad entity type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsEntityReference Returns a valid entity reference type reference to the type definition if this reference is of an entity reference type. Otherwise, it will return a bad entity reference type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsEnum Returns a valid enumeration type reference to the type definition if this reference is of an enumeration type. Otherwise, it will return a bad enumeration type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsPrimitive Returns a valid primitive type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a primitive type. Otherwise, it will return a bad primitive type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsRow Returns a valid row type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a row type. Otherwise, it will return a bad row type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsSpatial Returns a valid spatial type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a spatial type. Otherwise, it will return a bad spatial type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsString Returns a valid string type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a string type. Otherwise, it will return a bad string type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsStructured Returns a valid structured type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a structured type. Otherwise, it will return a bad structured type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method AsTemporal Returns a valid temporal type reference to the type definition if this reference is of a temporal type. Otherwise, it will return a bad temporal type reference. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method Errors Gets the errors, if any, that belong to this element or elements that this element contains. For example errors for a structural type include the errors of the type itself and errors of its declared properties. The method does not analyze elements referenced by this element. For example errors of a property do not include errors from its type. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method FullName Gets the full name with the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsBad Indicates whether this element contains errors returned by the Errors(IEdmElement) method. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsBinary Determines whether this reference refers to a binary type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsBoolean Determines whether this reference refers to a Boolean type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsByte Determines whether this reference refers to a byte type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsCollection Determines whether this reference refers to a collection. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsComplex Determines whether this reference refers to a complex type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsDateTime Determines whether this reference refers to a DateTime type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsDateTimeOffset Determines whether this reference refers to a DateTimeOffset type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsDecimal Determines whether this reference refers to a decimal type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsDouble Determines whether this reference refers to a double type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsEntity Determines whether this reference refers to an entity type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsEntityReference Determines whether this reference refers to an entity type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsEnum Determines whether this reference refers to an enumeration type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsEquivalentTo Indicates whether the compared type is semantically equivalent to this type. (Defined by EdmElementComparer.)
Public Extension Method IsFloating Determines whether this reference refers to a floating point type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsGuid Determines whether this reference refers to a GUID type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsInt16 Determines whether this reference refers to an Int16 type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsInt32 Determines whether this reference refers to an Int32 type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsInt64 Determines whether this reference refers to an Int64 type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsIntegral Determines whether this reference refers to an integer type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsPrimitive Determines whether this reference refers to a primitive type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsRow Determines whether this reference refers to a row type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsSByte Determines whether this reference refers to a SByte type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
Public Extension Method IsSignedIntegral Determines whether this reference refers to a signed integral type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
