EdmFunctionAttribute Constructor (String^, String^)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Initializes a new instance of the EdmFunctionAttribute class.

Namespace:   System.Data.Objects.DataClasses
Assembly:  System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)

public:
EdmFunctionAttribute(
	String^ namespaceName,
	String^ functionName
)

Parameters

namespaceName
Type: System::String^

The namespace of the mapped-to function.

functionName
Type: System::String^

The name of the mapped-to function.

An EdmFunctionAttribute links a common language runtime (CLR) method to another function. For example, the attribute can be used to map a CLR method to a function that is exposed by the storage provider, to a user-defined function in the database, or to a user-defined function in the conceptual model. Methods that have this attribute can be called from LINQ to Entities queries.

To use an EdmFunctionAttribute to map a CLR method to a function, the following must be true:

  • The return type of the CLR method must be compatible with the return type of the mapped-to function.

  • The argument types of the CLR method must be compatible with the argument types of the mapped-to function.

For information about compatible types, see Conceptual Model Types (CSDL).
