Properties

Name Description
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 BodyConditions

Gets a constraint on the values returned from the Operation. Defined only if IsQuery = True.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Class

Gets the Class that owns this operation. May be null.
System_CAPS_pubproperty ClientDependencies

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

Defines how calls from separate threads are processed. Sequential = the feature is not designed to handle concurrent calls; Guarded = calls will be blocked so that only one is processed at a time; concurrent = multiple calls can proceed concurrently. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Description

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

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

Gets the Interface that owns this Operation. May be null.
System_CAPS_pubproperty IsAbstract

True if this is a partial description intended to be extended or overridden in specializing classes. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.)
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 a return type with multiplicity > 1. True if the returned collection forms a sequence with a definite ordering.
System_CAPS_pubproperty IsQuery

True if execution of the Operation leaves the state of the system unchanged.
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 a return type with multiplicity > 1. True if each value in the returned collection is different from the other values.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Lower

Gets the lower multiplicity of the return value, if there is one.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Members

Gets the elements that are part of this Namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Methods

Gets Methods that implement the Behavioral Feature. There may be at most one behavior for each pairing of a classifier (as owner of the behavior) and a behavioral feature (as specification of the behavior). (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.)
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 OwnedMembers

Gets the elements that are defined within this Namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty OwnedParameters

Gets the ordered set of formal parameters owned by this BehavioralFeature. The parameter direction can be in, inout, out, or return. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.)
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 OwningTemplateParameter

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

Gets the packages that are imported by this namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Postconditions

Gets the Constraints that should be satisfied when the Operation completes.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Preconditions

Gets the constraints that should be satisfied before the Operation is invoked.
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 representing the visibility, name, parameters, and return type of the Operation. For example: +Cook(p1:Heat):Food
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 the return value, if there is one.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Upper

Gets the upper multiplicity of the return value, if there is one.
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)

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.
