  • Artigo

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

Specifies the parameters of a URL-based action. It defines how to parameterize the URL of an action with EntityInstance-specific data.

Namespace: https://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2007/BusinessDataCatalog

Schema: BDCMetadata

The URL attribute of a URL-based action can receive parameters by using the ActionParameter element.

Important

ActionParameters can either represent identifier values, or values that correspond to TypeDescriptors in a SpecificFinder of the Entity. The ActionParameter represents an identifier value when the IdOrdinal property is present. The value of the property specifies the index of the identifier whose value this ActionParameter represents. If the IdOrdinal property is not specified, the ActionParameter represents a TypeDescriptor, and the Name attribute specifies which type descriptor is being represented. The Name attribute is specified as a Dotted Path.

The ActionParameter element accepts the following property.
