	HasReturnTypeDescriptor	Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the current MethodInstance object has a return TypeDescriptor. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	Id	Gets the identifier of the MetadataObject object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	IsCached	Indicates whether the object is cached. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	IsDefault	Gets or sets a value specifying whether this is the default method instance. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	LocalizedDisplayName	Gets or sets the localized display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	LocalizedDisplayNames	Gets the collection of localized display names. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Method	Gets a Method object that represents the current MethodInstance object. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	MethodId	Gets the method identifier. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ContainsLocalizedDisplayName	Indicates whether the object contains a localized display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	CopyAclAcrossChildren	Copies the list of access control entries (ACEs) associated with the metadata object to all of its child metadata objects. Each individually securable metadata object inherits from this class and provides its own implementation of this method. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	CopyAclAcrossChildrenForSetting	Copies the list of access control entries (ACEs) associated with the metadata object to all of its child metadata objects for the specified setting. Each individually securable metadata object inherits from this class and provides its own implementation of this method. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	CopyAclToSetting	Copies the access control list (ACL) from the default setting to the target setting. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	Delete	Deletes the MetadataObject object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetAccessControlList()	Gets the access control list for this metadata object. (Inherited from AccessControlledMetadataObject.)
	GetAccessControlList(String)	Gets a list of the individually securable child metadata objects. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	GetAccessControlList(String, Boolean)	Gets a list of the individually securable child metadata objects. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	GetById	Gets the association by using the association identifier and the metadata store.
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	MergeXml	Reads the Association definition from the specified resource XML for the specified method, and then merges its properties, localized names, and access control entries with the existing Association in the metadata store.
	Read	Reads this Association object from the database and refreshes its contents. (Overrides MethodInstance.Read().)
	ReadCommon	This member is reserved for internal use and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	ReadXml	Reads the Association definition from the specified metadata XML for the specified method.
	SetAccessControlList(IAccessControlList)	Sets the access control list (ACL) for an individually securable metadata object. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	SetAccessControlList(IAccessControlList, String)	Sets the access control list (ACL) for an individually securable metadata object for the specified setting. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	ToString	(Inherited from Object.)
	Update	Updates the object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteSlicedXml	Writes a sliced XML fragment in the metadata store. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXml(PackageContents)	Returns the XML representation of the MetadataObject. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXml(PackageContents, String)	Returns the XML representation of the MetadataObject, which is generated using the properties, localized names, and access control entries from the specified setting. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
