MetadataWorkspaceExtensions.VisitComplexProperty Method

Executes the MetadataWorkspaceExtensions.ScalarInComplexPropertyVisitorDelegate on each scalar property of the specified complex type property.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration
Assembly:  Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration (in Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Sub VisitComplexProperty ( _
    property As EdmProperty, _

'Usage
Dim property As EdmProperty

    delimiter, recursive)

public static void VisitComplexProperty(
    this EdmProperty property,

    string delimiter,
    bool recursive
)

[ExtensionAttribute]
public:
static void VisitComplexProperty(
    EdmProperty^ property, 
    MetadataWorkspaceExtensions..::..ScalarInComplexPropertyVisitorDelegate^ visitorDelegate, 
    String^ delimiter, 
    bool recursive
)

public static function VisitComplexProperty(
    property : EdmProperty, 
    visitorDelegate : MetadataWorkspaceExtensions..::..ScalarInComplexPropertyVisitorDelegate, 
    delimiter : String, 
    recursive : boolean
)

Parameters

• property
  Type: System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EdmProperty
  A complex type property.

• visitorDelegate
  Type: Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DatabaseGeneration.MetadataWorkspaceExtensions.ScalarInComplexPropertyVisitorDelegate
  The delegate executed on each scalar property.

• delimiter
  Type: System.String
  A delimiter used when naming properties of the specified complex type properties.

• recursive
  Type: System.Boolean
  Specifies whether the VisitComplexProperty() method should be called on nested complex type properties within the specified complex type.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type EdmProperty. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

The VisitComplexProperty() method is used by the Generate Database Wizard when generating a database from a conceptual model.

Permissions

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
