Properties

BuiltInTypeKind	Gets the built-in type kind for this EdmProperty.
CollectionKind	Gets or sets the kind of collection for this model.
ComplexType	Gets the complex type information for this property.
ConcurrencyMode	Gets or sets the concurrency mode for the property.
DeclaringType	Gets the type on which this member is declared. (Inherited from EdmMember)
DefaultValue	Gets the default value for this EdmProperty.
Documentation	Gets or sets the documentation associated with this type. (Inherited from MetadataItem)
EnumType	Gets the enumeration type information for this property.
IsCollectionType	Gets whether the property is a collection type property.
IsComplexType	Gets whether this property is a complex type property.
IsEnumType	Gets whether this property is an enumeration type property.
IsFixedLength	Gets or sets whether the length of this property is fixed.
IsFixedLengthConstant	Gets whether the fixed length facet is constant for the database provider.
IsMaxLength	Gets or sets whether this property uses the maximum length supported by the provider.
IsMaxLengthConstant	Gets whether the maximum length facet is constant for the database provider.
IsPrecisionConstant	Gets whether the precision facet is constant for the database provider.
IsPrimitiveType	Gets whether this property is a primitive type.
IsScaleConstant	Gets whether the scale facet is constant for the database provider.
IsStoreGeneratedComputed	Tells whether this member is marked as a Computed member in the EDM definition (Inherited from EdmMember)
IsStoreGeneratedIdentity	Tells whether this member's Store generated pattern is marked as Identity in the EDM definition (Inherited from EdmMember)
IsUnderlyingPrimitiveType	Gets whether this property is an underlying primitive type.
IsUnicode	Gets or sets whether this property is a Unicode property.
IsUnicodeConstant	Gets whether the Unicode facet is constant for the database provider.
MaxLength	Gets or sets the maximum length of the property.
MetadataProperties	Gets the list of properties of the current type. (Inherited from MetadataItem)
Name	Gets or sets the name of the property. Setting this from a store-space model-convention will change the name of the database column for this property. In the conceptual model, this should align with the corresponding property from the entity class and should not be changed. (Inherited from EdmMember)
Nullable	Gets a value indicating whether this EdmProperty can have a null value.
Precision	Gets or sets the precision of this property.
PrimitiveType	Gets the primitive type information for this property.
Scale	Gets or sets the scale of this property.
StoreGeneratedPattern	Gets or sets the database generation method for the database column associated with this property
TypeName	Gets the type name of the property.
TypeUsage	Gets the instance of the TypeUsage class that contains both the type of the member and facets for the type. (Inherited from EdmMember)
UnderlyingPrimitiveType	Gets the underlying primitive type information for this property.
