Properties

Name Description
System_CAPS_pubproperty Aggregation

If Composite, the object in this property forms part of the property's owner. If Aggregate, the object forms part of a collection represented by the owner, but can be shared with other owners. Default = none.

System_CAPS_pubproperty ApplicableStereotypes

The set of stereotypes that could be applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty AppliedStereotypes

Each IStereotypeInstance denotes that a stereotype has been applied to this element.(Inherited from IElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Association

If this Property represents one end of an Association, gets the Association.

System_CAPS_pubproperty Class

Gets the Class that owns the Property. Null if the Property is owned by another kind of Classifier such as an Interface.

System_CAPS_pubproperty Classifier

Gets the Classifier that owns this Property.

System_CAPS_pubproperty ClientDependencies

Gets the Dependency relationships for which this element is the Client. (Inherited from INamedElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Default

Gets a String that is evaluated to give a default value for the Property when an object of the owning Classifier is instantiated.

System_CAPS_pubproperty DefaultValue

Gets the specification of the initial value of the property when a new instance of the owning classifier is created.

System_CAPS_pubproperty DeployedElements

Gets elements that have been deployed to this target. (Inherited from IDeploymentTarget.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Deployments

Gets Deployments that have deployed elements to this target. (Inherited from IDeploymentTarget.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Description

The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Ends

Gets the connector ends to which this element is connected. (Inherited from IConnectableElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty FeaturingClassifiers

Gets the Classifiers on which this Feature appears. (Inherited from IFeature.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsComposite

True if this property's Aggregation = Composite.

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsDerived

True if the value of this property is calculated from others. For example: Diagonal, calculated from Width and Height

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsDerivedUnion

True if this Property is a collection that is the union of two or more other Properties. For example, Parents is a derived union of {Mother, Father}.

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsLeaf

True if this element should not be specialized. That is, it should not be the target of a Generalization relationship. (Inherited from IRedefinableElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsOrdered

For multiplicity > 1. True if the elements in the collection form a sequence with a definite order. (Inherited from IMultiplicityElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsReadOnly

True if the value of the property cannot be changed. (Inherited from IStructuralFeature.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsStatic

True if this feature is shared by all the instances of its classifier. False if each instance effectively has a separate copy of the feature. (Inherited from IFeature.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty IsUnique

For multiplicity > 1. True if each value in the collection is different from the other values. Default = True. (Inherited from IMultiplicityElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty LowerValue

Gets the minimum number of elements allowed. Must be at least 0, and must not be *. (Inherited from IMultiplicityElement.)

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 Opposite

If not empty, this Property is one end of an Association, and this gets the Property at the other end.

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 OwningAssociation

If this Property is owned by an Association, gets the Association.

System_CAPS_pubproperty OwningTemplateParameter

If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.)

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 Signature

Gets a string that describes the visibility, name, type, and multiplicity of the property. For example: + employees : Person [*]

System_CAPS_pubproperty TemplateBindings

Gets the Bindings in which this element is used. (Inherited from ITemplateableElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty TemplateParameter

If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty Type

The type of instance that can be assigned to the element. If not specified, any instance can be assigned. (Inherited from ITypedElement.)

System_CAPS_pubproperty UpperValue

Gets the maximum number of elements allowed. If *, there is no maximum. Must be at least 1. (Inherited from IMultiplicityElement.)

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.)

Remarks

Note

The methods defined on this type are extension methods. To use the methods, you must add a project reference to the .NET assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.dll, and you must include the directive using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Uml; in your code.
