HostingDefinition Complex Type

Note: This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.

Defines elements that contain guest and host member definitions in a hosting relationship.

A guest requires a host to be constructed. Because there can be more than one possible host for a guest, the hosting relationship is also responsible for the construction of the guest on a host. Thus, to create an instance of an object, a hosting relationship must exist from a guest to a compatible host.

<xs:complexType name="HostingDefinition">
    <xs:complexContent>
        <xs:extension
            base="RelationshipDefinition"
        >
            <xs:attribute name="GuestDefinition"
                type="QualifiedName"
                use="required"
             />
GuestDefinition

                The definition of the guest instance.
            <xs:attribute name="HostDefinition"
                type="QualifiedName"
                use="required"
             />
HostDefinition
The definition of the host instance.
            <xs:attribute name="SimulationRoot"
                type="boolean"
                use="optional"
             />
SimulationRoot
true if the definition should have a root instance of it simulated during compilation of the .sdm file to do design time checking; otherwise, false. If this attribute is not specified then the default compiler rules for simulation apply. This attribute is needed when simulation would never pass cleanly but real usages of the definition would work fine.
        </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
 
HostingDefinition
 
Defines elements that contain guest and host members in a hosting relationship.
 
 

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
GuestDefinition	QualifiedName	The definition of the guest instance.
HostDefinition	QualifiedName	The definition of the host instance.
SimulationRoot	boolean	true if the definition should have a root instance of it simulated during compilation of the .sdm file to do design time checking; otherwise, false. If this attribute is not specified then the default compiler rules for simulation apply. This attribute is needed when simulation would never pass cleanly but real usages of the definition would work fine.
