EdmFunctionAttribute Class

Definition

An attribute that, when applied to a method, indicates that the method is a proxy for a function in the conceptual model or storage model.

public ref class EdmFunctionAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class EdmFunctionAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)>]
type EdmFunctionAttribute = class

Remarks

An EdmFunctionAttribute links a common language runtime (CLR) method to another function. For example, the attribute can be used to map a CLR method to a function that is exposed by the storage provider, to a user-defined function in the database, or to a user-defined function in the conceptual model. Methods that have this attribute can be called from LINQ to Entities queries.

To use an EdmFunctionAttribute to map a CLR method to a function, the following must be true:

  • The return type of the CLR method must be compatible with the return type of the mapped-to function.

  • The argument types of the CLR method must be compatible with the argument types of the mapped-to function.

For information about compatible types, see Conceptual Model Types (CSDL).

Constructors

EdmFunctionAttribute(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the EdmFunctionAttribute class.

Properties

FunctionName

The name of the mapped-to function.

NamespaceName

The namespace of the mapped-to function.

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

Returns the hash code for this instance.

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

Explicit Interface Implementations

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.

(Inherited from Attribute)
