'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function GetStoreGeneratedPatternValue ( _
    property As EdmMember, _
    targetVersion As Version, _
    dataSpace As DataSpace _
) As StoreGeneratedPattern
'Usage
Dim property As EdmMember
Dim targetVersion As Version
Dim dataSpace As DataSpace
Dim returnValue As StoreGeneratedPattern

returnValue = property.GetStoreGeneratedPatternValue(targetVersion, _
    dataSpace)

static StoreGeneratedPattern GetStoreGeneratedPatternValue(
    EdmMember^ property, 
    Version^ targetVersion, 
    DataSpace dataSpace
)

public static function GetStoreGeneratedPatternValue(
    property : EdmMember, 
    targetVersion : Version, 
    dataSpace : DataSpace
) : StoreGeneratedPattern

Parameters

• property
