Examples

For Example if conceptually you could represent the CS MSL file as following --Mapping --EntityContainerMapping ( CNorthwind-->SNorthwind ) --EntitySetMapping --EntityTypeMapping --MappingFragment --EntityKey --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --EntityTypeMapping --MappingFragment --EntityKey --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --ComplexPropertyMap --ComplexTypeMapping --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --ScalarProperyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --DiscriminatorProperyMap ( constant value-->SMemberMetadata ) --ComplexTypeMapping --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --ScalarProperyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --DiscriminatorProperyMap ( constant value-->SMemberMetadata ) --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --AssociationSetMapping --AssociationTypeMapping --MappingFragment --EndPropertyMap --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --ScalarProperyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) --EndPropertyMap --ScalarPropertyMap ( CMemberMetadata-->SMemberMetadata ) This class represents the metadata for all the complex property map elements in the above example. ComplexPropertyMaps contain ComplexTypeMaps which define mapping based on the type of the ComplexProperty in case of inheritance.

Constructors

ComplexPropertyMapping(EdmProperty)

Construct a new Complex Property mapping object

Properties

Property	Gets an EdmProperty that specifies the mapped property. (Inherited from PropertyMapping)
TypeMappings	Gets a read only collections of type mappings corresponding to the nested complex types.

Methods

AddTypeMapping(ComplexTypeMapping)	Adds a type mapping corresponding to a nested complex type.
RemoveTypeMapping(ComplexTypeMapping)	Removes a type mapping corresponding to a nested complex type.
