[This content is no longer valid. For the latest information on "M", "Quadrant", SQL Server Modeling Services, and the Repository, see the Model Citizen blog.]

Represents a node in an Mgraph structure, which is used to represent values in the modeling language.

The Node type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Node	Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the Node structure.

Methods

	Name	Description
	BeginNavigateFromRootTo	Overloaded. Begins to asynchronously resolve a symbolic node reference, using global navigation scope.
	BeginNavigateTo	Overloaded. Begins to asynchronously resolve a symbolic node reference, using the current node to define the navigation scope.
	CreateDefaultStore	Creates the default graph store.
	CreateNodeForStoreKey	Creates a node with a specified key for the store.
	EndNavigateFromRootTo	Obtains the return value from the BeginNavigateTo asynchronous delegate with global context.
	EndNavigateTo	Obtains the return value from the BeginNavigateTo asynchronous delegate.
	Equals	Overloaded. Determines whether a node has the same key as the current one.
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Gets the hash code that corresponds to this node's store key. (Overrides ValueType. . :: . .GetHashCode() () () ().)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	NavigateFromRootTo	Overloaded. Finds and returns the specified node, relative to the graph root.
	NavigateTo	Overloaded. Resolves a symbolic node reference, using the current node to define the navigation scope.
	ReadFrom	Overloaded. Reads an enumerable collection of edges using a reader.
	ReadFromString	Overloaded. Reads the outgoing nodes into an enumerable collection using a string reader.
	ToString	Displays a string representation of the node. (Overrides ValueType. . :: . .ToString() () () ().)
	ViewAllNodes	Returns a NodeCollection that contains all the nodes in the graph.
	ViewAsList	Returns an ordered list that contains the nodes in the graph.
	ViewAsRecord	Returns a dictionary that contains the nodes in the graph.
	ViewAsTuple	Returns an ordered list that contains the nodes in the graph.
	ViewOrderedNodes	Returns an ordered list that contains the ordered nodes in the graph.
	ViewUnorderedNodes	Returns a NodeCollection that contains the unordered nodes in the graph.
	WriteTo	Overloaded. Writes the sub-graph that can be reached from this node to a stream.
	WriteToString	Writes the sub-graph that can be reached from this node to a string.

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality	Determines whether two nodes are equal.
	Explicit Narrowing Explicit Explicit Explicit	Overloaded.
	Implicit Widening Implicit Implicit Implicit	Overloaded.
	Inequality	Determines whether two nodes are not equal.

Fields

	Name	Description
	Default	A node created by the default constructor.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AtomicValue	Gets and sets the value of an atomic node; gets nullNothingnullptrunita null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the node is non-atomic.
	Brand	Gets or sets the node's brand.
	Edges	Gets the collection of the outgoing edges that originate from this node. If the node is atomic, an empty collection is returned.
	IsDefault	Gets a value that indicates whether the node was constructed with the default constructor.
	IsListOrEmptyCollection	Gets a value that indicates whether the node is a list.
	IsReadOnly	Gets a value that indicates whether the backing store supports updates of the node.
	IsRecordOrEmptyCollection	Gets a value that indicates whether the node is a record.
	NodeKind	Gets the node's kind.
	Store	Gets the backing store of the node.
	StoreKey	Gets the node's key in the backing store.

Events

	Name	Description
	PropertyChanged	Adds or removes a property changed event handler.
