Initializes a new instance of the MetaType class.

Properties

Associations	When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the associations.
CanInstantiate	When overridden in a derived class, gets whether the underlying type can be instantiated as the result of a query.
DataMembers	When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the data members (fields and properties).
DBGeneratedIdentityMember	When overridden in a derived class, gets the member that represents the auto-generated identity column.
DerivedTypes	When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of the immediate derived types in an inheritance hierarchy.
Discriminator	When overridden in a derived class, gets the member that represents the inheritance discriminator column.
HasAnyLoadMethod	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the current MetaType or any of its bases types has an OnLoaded method.
HasAnyValidateMethod	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the MetaType or any of its bases types has an OnValidate method.
HasInheritance	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the type is part of a mapped inheritance hierarchy.
HasInheritanceCode	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type defines an inheritance code.
HasUpdateCheck	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the type has any persistent member that may require a test for optimistic concurrency conflicts.
IdentityMembers	When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the data members that define the unique identity of the type.
InheritanceBase	When overridden in a derived class, gets the base meta-type in the inheritance hierarchy.
InheritanceCode	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type defines an inheritance code.
InheritanceDefault	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type is used as the default of an inheritance hierarchy.
InheritanceRoot	When overridden in a derived class, gets the root type of the inheritance hierarchy.
InheritanceTypes	When overridden in a derived class, gets a collection of all types that are defined by an inheritance hierarchy.
IsEntity	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the MetaType is an entity type.
IsInheritanceDefault	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type is used as the default of an inheritance hierarchy.
Model	When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaModel that contains this MetaType.
Name	When overridden in a derived class, gets the name of the MetaType.
OnLoadedMethod	When overridden in a derived class, gets information about the OnLoaded method contained by this meta-type.
OnValidateMethod	When overridden in a derived class, gets information about the OnValidate method contained by this meta-type.
PersistentDataMembers	When overridden in a derived class, gets a collection of all the persistent data members.
Table	When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaTable that uses this MetaType for row definition.
Type	When overridden in a derived class, gets the underlying common language runtime (CLR) type.
VersionMember	When overridden in a derived class, gets a row-version or timestamp column for this MetaType.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetDataMember(MemberInfo)	When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaDataMember associated with the specified member.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetInheritanceType(Type)	When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaType for an inheritance subtype.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetTypeForInheritanceCode(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, gets the meta-type associated with the specified inheritance code.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
