Analyzes IEdmFunctionImport.EntitySet expression and returns a relative path to an IEdmEntitySet if available. The path starts with the parameter and may have optional sequence of IEdmNavigationProperty and type casts segments.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Data.Edm
Assembly:  Microsoft.Data.Edm (in Microsoft.Data.Edm.dll)

'Usage

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the entity set expression of the functionImport contains a relative path an IEdmEntitySet; otherwise, false.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEdmFunctionImport. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
