The IType type exposes the following members.

Methods

  NameDescription
Assemble
When implemented by a class, reconstructs the object from its cached "disassembled" state.
(Inherited from ICacheAssembler.)
DeepCopy
When implemented by a class, returns a deep copy of the persistent state, stopping at entities and at collections.
Disassemble
When implemented by a class, disassembles the object into a cacheable representation.
(Inherited from ICacheAssembler.)
Equals
When implemented by a class, compare two instances of the class mapped by this IType for persistence "equality" - ie. Equality of persistent state.
FromString
Parse the XML representation of an instance
GetColumnSpan
When implemented by a class, returns how many columns are used to persist this type.
GetHashCode
Get a hashcode, consistent with persistence "equality"
Hydrate
When implemented by a class, retrives an instance of the mapped class, or the identifier of an entity or collection from a IDataReader.
IsDatabaseNull
Determines whether the specified value is represented as nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the database.
IsDirtyOverloaded.
IsModified
NullSafeGetOverloaded.
NullSafeSetOverloaded.
Replace
ResolveIdentifier
When implemented by a class, maps identifiers to Entities or Collections.
SemiResolve
Given a hydrated, but unresolved value, return a value that may be used to reconstruct property-ref associations.
SqlTypes
When implemented by a class, returns the SqlTypes for the columns mapped by this IType.
ToLoggableString
When implemented by a class, a representation of the value to be embedded in an XML element

Properties

  NameDescription
HasNiceEquals
When implemented by a class, gets whether or not this IType contains Types that implement well-behaived Equals() method.
IsAnyType
IsAssociationType
When implemented by a class, gets a value indicating if the implementor is castable to an an IAssociationType
IsCollectionType
When implemented by a class, gets a value indicating if the implementor is a collection type
IsComponentType
When implemented by a class, gets a value indicating if the implementor is an IAbstractComponentType.
IsEntityType
When implemented by a class, gets a value indicating if the implementor extends EntityType
IsMutable
When implemented by a class, gets the value indicating if the objects of this IType are mutable.
Name
When implemented by a class, gets the abbreviated name of the type.
ReturnedClass
When implemented by a class, gets the Type returned by the NullSafeGet() methods.
