The IEdmEntityType type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	BaseType	Gets the base type of this type. (Inherited from IEdmStructuredType.)
	DeclaredKey	Gets the structural properties of the entity type that make up the entity key.
	DeclaredProperties	Gets the properties declared immediately within this type. (Inherited from IEdmStructuredType.)
	IsAbstract	Gets a value indicating whether this type is abstract. (Inherited from IEdmStructuredType.)
	IsOpen	Gets a value indicating whether this type is open. (Inherited from IEdmStructuredType.)
	Name	Gets the name of this element. (Inherited from IEdmNamedElement.)
	Namespace	Gets the namespace this schema element belongs to. (Inherited from IEdmSchemaElement.)
	SchemaElementKind	Gets the kind of this schema element. (Inherited from IEdmSchemaElement.)
	TermKind	Gets the kind of a term. (Inherited from IEdmTerm.)
	TypeKind	Gets the kind of this type. (Inherited from IEdmType.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	FindProperty	Searches for a structural or navigation property with the given name in this type and all base types and returns null if no such property exists. (Inherited from IEdmStructuredType.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	BaseEntityType	Gets the base entity type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	DeclaredNavigationProperties	Gets the declared navigation properties with the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	DeclaredStructuralProperties	Gets the declared structural properties with the specified type. (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.)
	HasDeclaredKeyProperty	Checks whether the given entity type has the property as one of the key properties. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	InheritsFrom	Determines whether the potential base type is in the inheritance hierarchy of the type being tested. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
	IsBad	Indicates whether this element contains errors returned by the Errors(IEdmElement) method. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
	IsEquivalentTo	Indicates a value whether the compared type is semantically equivalent to this type. (Defined by EdmElementComparer.)
	IsOrInheritsFrom	Determines whether a type is equivalent to or derived from another type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
	IsSpatial	Determines whether this definition refers to a spatial type. (Defined by EdmTypeSemantics.)
	Key	Gets the key with the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	Location	Gets the location of the specified item. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	NavigationProperties	Gets the navigation properties with the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	Properties	Gets the properties of the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	StructuralProperties	Gets the structural properties with the specified type. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToTraceString()	Overloaded. Returns the text representation of the current object. (Defined by ToTraceStringExtensionMethods.)
	ToTraceString()	Overloaded. Returns the text representation of the current object. (Defined by ToTraceStringExtensionMethods.)
	ToTraceString()	Overloaded. 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.)
