Properties

	Name	Description
	BaseType	Gets the type from which the current type directly inherits. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	DeclaredKey	Gets the structural properties of the entity type that make up the entity key.
	DeclaredProperties	Gets the collection of declared properties. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	IsAbstract	Gets a value that indicates whether the type is abstract. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	IsOpen	Gets a value that indicates whether the type is visible. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	Name	Gets the name of this entity type.
	Namespace	Gets the namespace of this entity type.
	PropertiesDictionary	Gets the key and value properties. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	SchemaElementKind	Gets the kind of this schema element.
	TermKind	Gets the kind of this term.
	TypeKind	Gets the kind of this type. (Overrides EdmType.TypeKind.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddBidirectionalNavigation	Creates and adds a navigation property to this type and adds its navigation partner to the navigation target type.
	AddKeys(IEdmStructuralProperty[])	Adds the keyProperties to the key of this entity type.
	AddKeys(IEnumerable<IEdmStructuralProperty>)	Adds the keyProperties to the key of this entity type.
	AddProperty	Adds the specified property from the type. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	AddStructuralProperty(String, EdmPrimitiveTypeKind)	Creates and adds a nullable structural property to this type. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	AddStructuralProperty(String, IEdmTypeReference)	Creates and adds a structural property to this type. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	AddStructuralProperty(String, EdmPrimitiveTypeKind, Boolean)	Creates and adds a nullable structural property to this type. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	AddStructuralProperty(String, IEdmTypeReference, String, EdmConcurrencyMode)	Creates and adds a structural property to this type. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	AddUnidirectionalNavigation(EdmNavigationPropertyInfo)	Creates and adds a unidirectional navigation property to this type. Default partner property is created, but not added to the navigation target type.
	AddUnidirectionalNavigation(EdmNavigationPropertyInfo, EdmNavigationPropertyInfo)	Creates and adds a unidirectional navigation property to this type. Navigation property partner is created, but not added to the navigation target type.
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	FindProperty	Searches the property with the specified name. (Inherited from EdmStructuredType.)
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)

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.)
