Definition
Assembly: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.dll
Namespace: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models
Inheritance: System.Object
Syntax
Microsoft . OData . Mcp . Core . Models . EdmSingleton
Summary
Represents a singleton in an OData entity container.
Singletons represent individual entity instances that are addressable as single resources
rather than collections. They are useful for representing unique entities like service
configuration, user profiles, or system settings that exist as single instances.
Constructors
.ctor
Initializes a new instance of the EdmSingleton class.
Syntax
.ctor
Initializes a new instance of the EdmSingleton class with the specified name and type.
Syntax
public EdmSingleton ( string name , string type )
Parameters
Name Type Description namestringThe name of the singleton. typestringThe entity type of the singleton.
Exceptions
Exception Description ArgumentExceptionThrown when name or type is null or whitespace.
.ctor Inherited

Properties
Annotations
Gets or sets the annotations for this singleton.
Syntax
public System . Collections . Generic . Dictionary < string , object > Annotations { get ; set ; }
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object>
A dictionary of annotations that provide additional metadata about the singleton.
Annotations can be used to specify additional behaviors, constraints, or metadata
that are not captured by the standard OData model elements.
HasNavigationPropertyBindings
Gets a value indicating whether this singleton has any navigation property bindings.
Syntax
public bool HasNavigationPropertyBindings { get ; }
Property Value
Type: bool
true if the singleton has navigation property bindings; otherwise, false.
Name
Gets or sets the name of the singleton.
Syntax
public required string Name { get ; set ; }
Property Value
Type: string
The name used to address this singleton in OData URLs.
The singleton name appears in the URL path when accessing the individual entity.
NavigationPropertyBindings
Gets or sets the navigation property bindings for this singleton.
Syntax
public System . Collections . Generic . List < Microsoft . OData . Mcp . Core . Models . EdmNavigationPropertyBinding > NavigationPropertyBindings { get ; set ; }
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.List<Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmNavigationPropertyBinding>
A collection of navigation property bindings that establish relationships with other entity sets or singletons.
Navigation property bindings specify which entity set or singleton should be used when following
a navigation property from this singleton. They establish the connections between related
resources in the model.
Type
Gets or sets the entity type of the singleton.
Syntax
public required string Type { get ; set ; }
Property Value
Type: string
The fully qualified name of the entity type for this singleton.
The singleton instance must be of this entity type or one of its derived types.
This determines the structure and properties available for the singleton.
TypeName
Gets the short name of the entity type (without namespace).
Syntax
public string TypeName { get ; }
Property Value
Type: string
The entity type name without the namespace prefix.
TypeNamespace
Gets the namespace of the entity type.
Syntax
public string TypeNamespace { get ; }
Property Value
Type: string
The namespace portion of the entity type, or an empty string if no namespace.

Parameters

Exceptions
Exception Description ArgumentExceptionThrown when navigationPropertyPath or target is null or whitespace.
