# DataSourceStub

> Represents method stubs that identify API data source.

## Definition

**Assembly:** Microsoft.Restier.Core.dll

**Namespace:** Microsoft.Restier.Core

**Inheritance:** System.Object

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Microsoft.Restier.Core.DataSourceStub
```

## Summary

Represents method stubs that identify API data source.

## Remarks

The methods in this class are stubs that identify API data source
inside a query expression. This is a generic way to reference a
data source in API. Later in the query pipeline the sourcer from
the data provider will replace the stub with the actual data source.

## Methods

### <Icon icon="thumbtack" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> GetPropertyValue

Identifies the value of an extended property of an object.

```

#### Parameters

| Name           | Type     | Description             |
| -------------- | -------- | ----------------------- |
| `source`       | `object` | A source object.        |
| `propertyName` | `string` | The name of a property. |

#### Returns

Type: `TResult`
A representation of the value of the
extended property of the object.

#### Type Parameters

* `TResult` - The type of the result.

### <Icon icon="thumbtack" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> GetQueryableSource

Identifies an entity set, singleton or queryable data
resulting from a call to a composable function import.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public static System.Linq.IQueryable<TElement> GetQueryableSource<TElement>(string name, params object[] arguments)
```

#### Parameters

| Name                                                          | Type       | Description                                                         |

| the arguments to be passed to the composable function import. |            |                                                                     |

#### Returns

Type: `System.Linq.IQueryable<TElement>`
A representation of the entity set, singleton or queryable
data resulting from a call to the composable function import.

#### Type Parameters

* `TElement` - The type of the elements in the queryable data.

### <Icon icon="thumbtack" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> GetQueryableSource

Identifies queryable data resulting
from a call to a composable function.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public static System.Linq.IQueryable<TElement> GetQueryableSource<TElement>(string namespaceName, string name, params object[] arguments)
```

#### Parameters

| Name            | Type       | Description                                                 |

| `arguments`     | `object[]` | The arguments to be passed to the composable function.      |

#### Returns

Type: `System.Linq.IQueryable<TElement>`
A representation of the queryable data resulting
from a call to the composable function.

#### Type Parameters

* `TElement` - The type of the elements in the queryable data.
