Represents a complex property of a structural type.

public interface IConventionComplexProperty : Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IConventionPropertyBase, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IReadOnlyComplexProperty

type IConventionComplexProperty = interface
    interface IReadOnlyComplexProperty
    interface IReadOnlyPropertyBase
    interface IReadOnlyAnnotatable
    interface IConventionPropertyBase
    interface IConventionAnnotatable

Public Interface IConventionComplexProperty
Implements IConventionPropertyBase, IReadOnlyComplexProperty

Implements: IReadOnlyAnnotatable IConventionAnnotatable IConventionPropertyBase IReadOnlyComplexProperty IReadOnlyPropertyBase

Remarks

This interface is used during model creation and allows the metadata to be modified. Once the model is built, IComplexProperty represents a read-only view of the same metadata.

See Model building conventions for more information and examples.

Properties

Builder	Gets the builder that can be used to configure this property.
ClrType	Gets the type of value that this property-like object holds. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
ComplexType	Gets the associated complex type.
DeclaringType	Gets the type that this property-like object belongs to. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
FieldInfo	Gets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field for this property-like object. This may be `null` for shadow properties or if the backing field is not known. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
IsCollection	Gets a value indicating whether this property represents a collection. (Inherited from IReadOnlyComplexProperty)
IsInModel	Indicates whether this object is in a model, i.e. hasn't been removed from one. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
IsNullable	Gets a value indicating whether this property can contain `null`. (Inherited from IReadOnlyComplexProperty)
Item[String]	Gets the value of the annotation with the given name, returning `null` if it does not exist. (Inherited from IReadOnlyAnnotatable)
Name	Gets the name of this property-like object. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
PropertyInfo	Gets the PropertyInfo for the underlying CLR property for this property-like object. This may be `null` for shadow properties or if mapped directly to a field. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
Sentinel	Gets the sentinel value that indicates that this property is not set. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)

Methods

AddAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Adds an annotation to this object. Throws if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
AddAnnotations(IEnumerable<IConventionAnnotation>, Boolean)	Adds annotations to an object. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
AnnotationsToDebugString(Int32)	Gets the debug string for all annotations declared on the object. (Inherited from IReadOnlyAnnotatable)
FindAnnotation(String)	Gets the annotation with the given name, returning `null` if it does not exist. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
GetAnnotation(String)	Gets the annotation with the given name, throwing if it does not exist. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
GetAnnotations()	Gets all annotations on the current object. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
GetConfigurationSource()	Returns the configuration source for this property. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
GetFieldInfoConfigurationSource()	Returns the configuration source for FieldInfo. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
GetFieldName()	Gets the name of the backing field for this property, or `null` if the backing field is not known. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
GetIsNullableConfigurationSource()	Returns the configuration source for IsNullable.
GetPropertyAccessMode()	Gets the PropertyAccessMode being used for this property-like object. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
GetPropertyAccessModeConfigurationSource()	Returns the configuration source for GetPropertyAccessMode(). (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
IsIndexerProperty()	Gets a value indicating whether this is an indexer property. An indexer property is one that is accessed through an indexer on the entity class. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
IsShadowProperty()	Gets a value indicating whether this is a shadow property. A shadow property is one that does not have a corresponding property in the entity class. The current value for the property is stored in the ChangeTracker rather than being stored in instances of the entity class. (Inherited from IReadOnlyPropertyBase)
RemoveAnnotation(String)	Removes the annotation with the given name from this object. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
SetAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
SetField(FieldInfo, Boolean)	Obsolete. Sets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field that this property should use. By default, the backing field, if one is found or has been specified, is used when new objects are constructed, typically when entities are queried from the database. Properties are used for all other accesses. This can be changed by calling SetPropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean). (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetField(String, Boolean)	Sets the underlying CLR field that this property should use. This may be `null` for shadow properties or if the backing field for the property is not known. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetFieldInfo(FieldInfo, Boolean)	Sets the FieldInfo for the underlying CLR field that this property should use. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
SetIsNullable(Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Sets a value indicating whether this property can contain `null`.
SetOrRemoveAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. Removes the existing annotation if `null` is supplied. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatable)
SetPropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean)	Sets the PropertyAccessMode to use for this property. (Inherited from IConventionPropertyBase)
ToDebugString(MetadataDebugStringOptions, Int32)	Creates a human-readable representation of the given metadata. Warning: Do not rely on the format of the returned string. It is designed for debugging only and may change arbitrarily between releases. (Inherited from IReadOnlyComplexProperty)
