EntityDesignerSelection Enumeration
An enumeration used to specify which object types that, when selected in the Entity Data Model Designer or the Model Browser, cause the CreateProperty method of the annotated class to be called.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Remarks
In a Visual Studio extension, the EntityDesignerSelection enumeration is used when extending the functionality of the Entity Data Model Designer (Entity Designer). Specifically, the EntityDesignerExtendedPropertyAttribute is used to annotate classes that implement the IEntityDesignerExtendedProperty interface. The EntityDesignerExtendedPropertyAttribute constructor accepts a parameter of type EntityDesignerSelection that specifies which objects, when selected in the Entity Data Model Designer or the Model Browser, cause the CreateProperty method of the annotated class to be called.
