Definition

Assembly: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.dll Namespace: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models Inheritance: System.Object

​
Syntax

Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmComplexType

​
Summary

Represents a complex type in an OData model.

​
Remarks

Complex types are structured types that consist of a set of properties but do not have a key. They are used to define reusable data structures that can be used as property types in entity types or other complex types. Complex types cannot exist independently; they must be contained within an entity or another complex type.

​
Constructors

​
.ctor

Initializes a new instance of the EdmComplexType class.

​
Syntax

public EdmComplexType()

​
.ctor

Initializes a new instance of the EdmComplexType class with the specified name and namespace.

​
Syntax

public EdmComplexType(string name, string namespace)

​
Parameters

NameTypeDescription
namestringThe name of the complex type.
namespacestringThe namespace of the complex type.

​
Exceptions

ExceptionDescription
ArgumentExceptionThrown when name or namespace is null or whitespace.

​
.ctor Inherited

Inherited from object

​
Syntax

public Object()

​
Properties

​
Abstract

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this complex type is abstract.

​
Syntax

public bool Abstract { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: bool true if the complex type is abstract; otherwise, false.

​
Remarks

Abstract complex types cannot be instantiated directly but can serve as base types for other complex types. They are useful for defining common properties and behaviors.

​
BaseType

Gets or sets the base type of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public string BaseType { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: string? The fully qualified name of the base complex type, or null if this type has no base type.

​
Remarks

When specified, this complex type inherits all properties from the base type. The inheritance hierarchy must be consistent within the model.

​
FullName

Gets the fully qualified name of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public string FullName { get; }

​
Property Value

Type: string The namespace and name combined with a dot separator.

​
HasBaseType

Gets a value indicating whether this complex type inherits from another complex type.

​
Syntax

public bool HasBaseType { get; }

​
Property Value

Type: bool true if the complex type has a base type; otherwise, false.

​
HasNavigationProperties

Gets a value indicating whether this complex type has any navigation properties.

​
Syntax

public bool HasNavigationProperties { get; }

​
Property Value

Type: bool true if the complex type has navigation properties; otherwise, false.

​
IsAbstract

Gets a value indicating whether this complex type is abstract.

​
Syntax

public bool IsAbstract { get; }

​
Property Value

Type: bool true if the complex type is abstract; otherwise, false.

​
Remarks

This is an alias for the EdmComplexType.Abstract property for compatibility.

​
Name

Gets or sets the name of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public required string Name { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: string The local name of the complex type within its namespace.

​
Namespace

Gets or sets the namespace of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public required string Namespace { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: string The namespace that contains this complex type. Gets or sets the navigation properties of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmNavigationProperty> NavigationProperties { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmNavigationProperty> A collection of navigation properties that define relationships to entities.

​
Remarks

Navigation properties in complex types enable navigation from the complex type to related entities, but the complex type itself cannot be the target of navigation.

​
OpenType

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this complex type is open.

​
Syntax

public bool OpenType { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: bool true if the complex type is open; otherwise, false.

​
Remarks

Open complex types allow additional properties beyond those explicitly defined in the metadata. This provides flexibility for dynamic scenarios where the complete structure may not be known at design time.

​
Properties

Gets or sets the properties of the complex type.

​
Syntax

public System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmProperty> Properties { get; set; }

​
Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmProperty> A collection of structural properties that define the data elements of the complex type.

​
Remarks

These properties represent the data that can be stored and retrieved for instances of this complex type. Unlike entity types, complex types do not have key properties.
