Parameters

• name
  Type: System.String
  The name of the function import.

• returnType
  Type: Microsoft.Data.Edm.IEdmTypeReference
  The return type of the function import.

• entitySet
  Type: Microsoft.Data.Edm.Expressions.IEdmExpression
  An entity set containing entities returned by this function import. The two expression kinds supported are IEdmEntitySetReferenceExpression and IEdmPathExpression.

• sideEffecting
  Type: System.Boolean
  true to indicate that this function import has side-effects; otherwise, false.

• composable
  Type: System.Boolean
  true to indicate that this function import can be composed inside expressions; otherwise, false.

• bindable
  Type: System.Boolean
  true to indicate that this function import can be used as an extension method for the type of the first parameter of this function import; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Data.Edm.Library.EdmFunctionImport
The created function import.
