The EdmNavigationProperty type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ContainsTarget	Gets a value indicating whether the navigation target is contained inside the navigation source.
	DeclaringEntityType	Gets the entity type that this navigation property belongs to.
	DeclaringType	Gets the type that this property belongs to. (Inherited from EdmProperty.)
	DependentProperties	Gets or sets the dependent properties of the association this navigation property expresses.
	IsPrincipal	Gets a value indicating whether this navigation property is from the principal end of the association.
	Name	Gets the name of this element. (Inherited from EdmNamedElement.)
	OnDelete	Gets the action to take when an element of the defining type is deleted.
	Partner	Gets the navigation property from this properties destination back to the declaring type of this property.
	PropertyKind	Gets the kind of this property. (Overrides EdmProperty.PropertyKind.)
	Type	Gets or sets the type of this property. (Inherited from EdmProperty.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateNavigationPropertyWithPartner(EdmNavigationPropertyInfo, EdmNavigationPropertyInfo)	Creates two navigation properties representing an association between two entity types.
	CreateNavigationPropertyWithPartner(String, IEdmTypeReference, IEnumerable<IEdmStructuralProperty>, Boolean, EdmOnDeleteAction, String, IEdmTypeReference, IEnumerable<IEdmStructuralProperty>, Boolean, EdmOnDeleteAction)	Creates two navigation properties representing an association between two entity types.
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	(Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	DeclaringEntityType	Gets the entity type declaring this navigation property. (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.)
	GetPrimary	Gets the primary end of a pair of partnered navigation properties, selecting the principal end if there is one and making a stable, arbitrary choice otherwise. (Defined by SerializationExtensionMethods.)
	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.)
	Multiplicity	Gets the multiplicity of this end of a bidirectional relationship between this navigation property and its partner. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToEntityType	Gets the entity type targeted by this navigation property. (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.)
