  Type: Microsoft.BusinessData.MetadataModel.ITypeDescriptor

  The TypeDescriptor that corresponds to the specified value.

  The TypeDescriptor that corresponds to the parent object.

• instance

  The parent object.

Remarks

The value could be of a primitive type, value type, or a reference type. The TypeDescriptor that represents the parent object must not have the IsCollection flag set.

Instances of objects in the Business Data Connectivity object model are tied to the Metadata Store they are obtained from. Using instances tied to one Metadata Store with the instances from another Metadata Store will cause data corruption and other unexpected behavior. For more information, see DatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog, FileBackedMetadataCatalog, and RemoteSharedFileBackedMetadataCatalog.
