The ICallAction type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Activity	Activity that owns the node. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	ApplicableStereotypes	The set of stereotypes that could be applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	AppliedStereotypes	Each IStereotypeInstance denotes that a stereotype has been applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	Arguments	Gets the pins on which the argument values are input. (Inherited from IInvocationAction.)
	ClientDependencies	Gets the Dependency relationships for which this element is the Client. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Context	Gets the classifier whose behavior is partly described by this Action. (Inherited from IAction.)
	Description	The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	Incomings	Edges that have the node as target. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	Inputs	Gets the inputs for the action. (Inherited from IAction.)
	IsLeaf	True if this element should not be specialized. That is, it should not be the target of a Generalization relationship. (Inherited from IRedefinableElement.)
	IsSynchronous	True if the call is synchronous and the caller waits for completion of the invoked behavior. False if the call is asynchronous and the caller proceeds immediately and does not expect a return value. Default = true.
	LocalPostconditions	Gets the Constraint that should be satisfied when execution is completed. May be null. (Inherited from IAction.)
	LocalPreconditions	Gets the Constraint that should be satisfied when execution is started. May be null. (Inherited from IAction.)
	Name	The name of this element within the Namespace that contains it. In this Namespace, there should be no other element that has this Name. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Namespace	Gets the Namespace in which this element is defined. May be null. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	OnPort	If not null, the operation is invoked on this port of the receiving object. (Inherited from IInvocationAction.)
	Outgoings	Edges that have the node as source. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	Outputs	Gets the outputs of the action. (Inherited from IAction.)
	OwnedComments	Gets Comments contained in this element (not comments linked to it). (Inherited from IElement.)
	OwnedElements	Gets Elements owned by this element. Every element has one owner, except the root IModel. (Inherited from IElement.)
	Owner	Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner. (Inherited from IElement.)
	QualifiedName	Gets the name of this element, prefixed with the Qualified Name of the Namespace that contains it. Empty if the Name is empty or if the Qualified Name of the Namespace is empty. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Results	Gets the Pins on which the results of performing the invocation appear.
	Visibility	Defines where the element can be referenced. Public = visible anywhere; private = visible only in the owning Namespace; protected = visible to elements that have a generalization relationship to the owning Namespace; package = visible only in the Package owning the Namespace, if there is one. Default = public. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	VisibleAppliedStereotypes	(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddReference	Links a string to an element, usually where the string is a reference such as a URI, modelbus reference, or work item ID. Use the name to indicate the type of reference. Returns an IReference object that represents the link. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	ApplyStereotype	Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype. (Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
	CreateArgumentInputPin	Create a new InputPin object and also a Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Actions.InvocationActionHasArguments link which connects IMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Actions.IInvocationAction to the newly created InputPin object. (Defined by InvocationActionExtensions.)
	CreateLocalPostconditionConstraint	Create a new postcondition IConstraint owned by this IAction. (Defined by ActionExtensions.)
	CreateLocalPreconditionConstraint	Create a new precondition IConstraint owned by this IAction. (Defined by ActionExtensions.)
	CreateResultOutputPin	Create a new IOutputPin object in the CallAction (Defined by CallActionExtensions.)
	Delete	Deletes this element and any relationships, owned elements, and shapes. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	DeleteAllReference	Remove all the references of a given tag. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetActivityEdgeSources	The nodes sourcing edges incoming to this one (Defined by ActivityExtensions.)
	GetActivityEdgeTargets	The nodes targeted by edges outgoing from this one (Defined by ActivityExtensions.)
	GetDependencyClients	Return a collection of elements that are dependent on this. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetDependencySuppliers	Return a collection of elements on which this is dependent. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetId	Gets a GUID that identifies this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetModelStore	Gets the IModelStore that contains this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetReferences	Get the IReferences of a given tag that are associated with this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedElements<T>	Gets elements related to this element by relationships of the specified type. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedLinks<T>	Gets relationships of a specified type from or to this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	Shapes	All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram. (Defined by PresentationHelpers.)

Remarks

Note

The methods defined on this type are extension methods. To use the methods, you must add a project reference to the .NET assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.dll, and you must include the directive using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Uml; in your code.
