Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	EntitySets	Gets the entity sets of the specified container. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	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.)
	FullName	Gets the full name with the specified element. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	FunctionImports	Gets the function imports of the specified container. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	IsBad	Indicates whether this element contains errors returned by the Errors(IEdmElement) method. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
	Location	Gets the location of the specified item. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToTraceString	Returns the text representation of the current object. (Defined by ToTraceStringExtensionMethods.)
	VocabularyAnnotations	Gets an annotatable element's vocabulary annotations as seen from a particular model. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
