Functions that are defined in conceptual schema definition language (CSDL) optionally accept both in and out Parameter elements. Each Parameter element MUST have an associated Name and Type defined.

The following is an example of FunctionImport Parameter element.

 <FunctionImport Name="GetScalar" ReturnType="Collection(String)">
   <Parameter Name="count" Type="Int32" Mode="Out" />
   <ValueFunctionImport Anything="bogus1" xmlns="FunctionImportAnnotation"/>
 </FunctionImport>

The following rules apply to the FunctionImport Parameter element:

  • Parameter MUST have a Name defined.

  • The Type of the Parameter MUST be defined. Type is a scalar type, ComplexType, or EntityType or a collection of scalar, ComplexType, or EntityType types.

  • For a given Parameter, a MaxLength value can be specified.
