System_CAPS_pubproperty Extension

System_CAPS_pubproperty 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.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Namespace

Gets the Namespace in which this element is defined. May be null. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty OwnedComments

Gets Comments contained in this element (not comments linked to it). (Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty OwnedElements

Gets Elements owned by this element. Every element has one owner, except the root IModel.(Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Owner

Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner.(Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty 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.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Source

The source element of the relationship. (Inherited from IDirectedRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty SourceElement

Source element of the relationship. (Inherited from IRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Target

The target element of the relationship. (Inherited from IDirectedRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty TargetElement

Target element of the relationship. (Inherited from IRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty 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.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty VisibleAppliedStereotypes

(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

Name Description
System_CAPS_pubmethod AddReference(String, String, Boolean)

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.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod ApplyStereotype(IStereotype)

Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype.(Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod Delete()

Deletes this element and any relationships, owned elements, and shapes.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod DeleteAllReference(String)

Remove all the references of a given tag.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetDependencyClients()

Return a collection of elements that are dependent on this.(Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetDependencySuppliers()

Return a collection of elements on which this is dependent.(Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetId()

Gets a GUID that identifies this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetModelStore()

Overloaded. Gets the IModelStore that contains this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetReferences(String)

Get the IReferences of a given tag that are associated with this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetRelatedElements<T>()

Gets elements related to this element by relationships of the specified type.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetRelatedLinks<T>()

Gets relationships of a specified type from or to this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod Shapes(IDiagram)
