Method Class

  • Article

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Represents operations related to an entity that you can perform in the line-of-business (LOB) application. Methods represent pointers to business logic in a business application. Examples of methods are "get a list of customers," "get the order with a specified ID," and "update the unit price of a product."

Remarks

The metadata for a Method metadata object essentially describes a method signature; for example, the name of an SQL stored procedure, an SQL query, or a Web services method. The definitions for the method signatures live in the LOB application. The Method metadata object provides the information about that method so the Runtime object model can query the metadata repository for this information when a client wants to execute the method.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
