The EdmNavigationProperty type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property ContainsTarget Gets a value indicating whether the navigation target is contained inside the navigation source.
Public property DeclaringEntityType Gets the entity type that this navigation property belongs to.
Public property DeclaringType Gets the type that this property belongs to. (Inherited from EdmProperty.)
Public property DependentProperties Gets or sets the dependent properties of the association this navigation property expresses.
Public property IsPrincipal Gets a value indicating whether this navigation property is from the principal end of the association.
Public property Name Gets the name of this element. (Inherited from EdmNamedElement.)
Public property OnDelete Gets the action to take when an element of the defining type is deleted.
Public property Partner Gets the navigation property from this properties destination back to the declaring type of this property.
Public property PropertyKind Gets the kind of this property. (Overrides EdmProperty.PropertyKind.)
Public property Type Gets or sets the type of this property. (Inherited from EdmProperty.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public methodStatic member CreateNavigationPropertyWithPartner(EdmNavigationPropertyInfo, EdmNavigationPropertyInfo) Creates two navigation properties representing an association between two entity types.
Public methodStatic member CreateNavigationPropertyWithPartner(String, IEdmTypeReference, IEnumerable<IEdmStructuralProperty>, Boolean, EdmOnDeleteAction, String, IEdmTypeReference, IEnumerable<IEdmStructuralProperty>, Boolean, EdmOnDeleteAction) Creates two navigation properties representing an association between two entity types.
Public method Equals (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString (Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

  Name Description
Public Extension Method DeclaringEntityType Gets the entity type declaring this navigation property. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method Errors Gets the errors, if any, that belong to this element or elements that this element contains. For example errors for a structural type include the errors of the type itself and errors of its declared properties. The method does not analyze elements referenced by this element. For example errors of a property do not include errors from its type. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method GetPrimary Gets the primary end of a pair of partnered navigation properties, selecting the principal end if there is one and making a stable, arbitrary choice otherwise. (Defined by SerializationExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method IsBad Indicates whether this element contains errors returned by the Errors(IEdmElement) method. (Defined by ValidationExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method Location Gets the location of the specified item. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method Multiplicity Gets the multiplicity of this end of a bidirectional relationship between this navigation property and its partner. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method ToEntityType Gets the entity type targeted by this navigation property. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method ToTraceString Returns the text representation of the current object. (Defined by ToTraceStringExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension Method VocabularyAnnotations Gets an annotatable element's vocabulary annotations as seen from a particular model. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
