Initializes a new instance of the MetaType class. |
Properties
| Associations |
When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the associations. |

When overridden in a derived class, gets whether the underlying type can be instantiated as the result of a query. |
| DataMembers |
When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the data members (fields and properties). |
| DBGeneratedIdentityMember |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the member that represents the auto-generated identity column. |
| DerivedTypes |
When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of the immediate derived types in an inheritance hierarchy. |
| Discriminator |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the member that represents the inheritance discriminator column. |

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the MetaType or any of its bases types has an |
| HasInheritance |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the type is part of a mapped inheritance hierarchy. |
| HasInheritanceCode |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type defines an inheritance code. |
| HasUpdateCheck |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the type has any persistent member that may require a test for optimistic concurrency conflicts. |
| IdentityMembers |
When overridden in a derived class, gets an enumeration of all the data members that define the unique identity of the type. |
| InheritanceBase |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the base meta-type in the inheritance hierarchy. |
| InheritanceCode |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type defines an inheritance code. |
| InheritanceDefault |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type is used as the default of an inheritance hierarchy. |
| InheritanceRoot |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the root type of the inheritance hierarchy. |
| InheritanceTypes |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a collection of all types that are defined by an inheritance hierarchy. |
| IsEntity |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the MetaType is an entity type. |
| IsInheritanceDefault |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether this type is used as the default of an inheritance hierarchy. |
| Model |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaModel that contains this MetaType. |
| Name |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the name of the MetaType. |
| OnLoadedMethod |
When overridden in a derived class, gets information about the |
| OnValidateMethod |
When overridden in a derived class, gets information about the |
| PersistentDataMembers |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a collection of all the persistent data members. |
| Table |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaTable that uses this MetaType for row definition. |
| Type |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the underlying common language runtime (CLR) type. |
| VersionMember |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a row-version or timestamp column for this MetaType. |
Methods
| Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetDataMember(MemberInfo) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaDataMember associated with the specified member. |
| GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetInheritanceType(Type) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the MetaType for an inheritance subtype. |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetTypeForInheritanceCode(Object) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the meta-type associated with the specified inheritance code. |
| MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
