	ChildTypeDescriptors	Gets the collection of child descriptors.
	ContainsFilterDescriptor	Gets whether the TypeDescriptor object contains a FilterDescriptor object.
	ContainsIdentifier	Indicates whether the TypeDescriptor object contains an identifier.
	ContainsReadOnly	Gets whether the TypeDescriptor object contains read-only data.
	DefaultDisplayName	Gets or sets the default display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	FilterDescriptor	Gets or sets the filter descriptor.
	Flags	Gets or sets the TypeDescriptorFlags object corresponding to this type descriptor.
	Id	Gets the identifier of the MetadataObject object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	IdentifierReference	Gets or sets the IdentifierReference object.
	Interpretation	Gets the list of interpretation rules.
	IsCached	Indicates whether the object is cached. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	IsCollection	Get or sets whether this type descriptor is a collection.
	LobName	Gets or sets the external system's name.
	LocalizedDisplayName	Gets or sets the localized display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	LocalizedDisplayNames	Gets the collection of localized display names. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name of the object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Parameter	Gets the parameter of the TypeDescriptor object.
	ParentTypeDescriptor	Gets or sets the parent type descriptor of this type descriptor.

Methods

	Name	Description
	ContainsLocalizedDisplayName	Indicates whether the object contains a localized display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Delete	Deletes the MetadataObject. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	DeleteDefaultValue	Deletes the default value.
	GetAccessControlList()	Gets the access control list (ACL) from the containing entity. (Inherited from AccessControlledMetadataObject.)
	GetAccessControlList(String)	Gets the access control list (ACL) for the specified setting identifier. (Inherited from AccessControlledMetadataObject.)
	GetById	Gets the TypeDescriptor object by using its identifier (ID).
	GetDefaultValue	Gets the default value for this type descriptor given the method instance identifier (ID).
	GetLevel	Returns the number of TypeDescriptor objects between this TypeDescriptor and the root of the parameter.
	MergeXml(String, [], PackageContents, Parameter, TypeDescriptor)	Obsolete. Reads the TypeDescriptor definition from the specified resource XML for the specified parent type descriptor object, and then merges its properties, localized names, and access control entries with the existing TypeDescriptor in the metadata store.
	MergeXml(String, [], PackageContents, Parameter, TypeDescriptor, String)	Reads the TypeDescriptor definition information from the specified XML resource for the specified parent type descriptor object in the specified partition, and merges its properties, localized names, and access control entries into the current TypeDescriptor in the metadata store.
	Read	Updates the object with the latest data from Metadata Store. (Overrides MetadataObject.Read().)
	ReadCommon	This member is reserved for internal use and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Overrides MetadataObject.ReadCommon(MetadataObjectStruct).)
	ReadXml	Reads the TypeDescriptor definition from the specified metadata XML for the specified parameter.
	SetAndFixupInterpretation	Returns a copy of the current rules and modifies the collection that requires you to set the rules.
	SetDefaultValue	Sets the default value.
	ToString	(Inherited from Object.)
	Update	Updates the object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXml(PackageContents)	Returns the XML representation of the MetadataObject. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXml(PackageContents, String)	Returns the XML representation of the MetadataObject, which is generated using the properties, localized names, and access control entries from the specified setting. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
