IMultiplicityElement Interface

 

Defines how many instances of an element can be appear in a given context such as an attribute, parameter, or association end. If Upper Bound > 1, the context contains a collection of the given type.

    Inherits IElement

Properties

	Name	Description
	ApplicableStereotypes	The set of stereotypes that could be applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	AppliedStereotypes	Each IStereotypeInstance denotes that a stereotype has been applied to this element.(Inherited from IElement.)
	Description	The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	IsOrdered	For multiplicity > 1. True if the elements in the collection form a sequence with a definite order.
	IsUnique	For multiplicity > 1. True if each value in the collection is different from the other values. Default = True.
	LowerValue	Gets the minimum number of elements allowed. Must be at least 0, and must not be *.
	OwnedComments	Gets Comments contained in this element (not comments linked to it). (Inherited from IElement.)
	OwnedElements	Gets Elements owned by this element. Every element has one owner, except the root IModel.(Inherited from IElement.)
	Owner	Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner.(Inherited from IElement.)
	UpperValue	Gets the maximum number of elements allowed. If *, there is no maximum. Must be at least 1.
	VisibleAppliedStereotypes	(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddReference(String, String, Boolean)	Links a string to an element, usually where the string is a reference such as a URI, modelbus reference, or work item ID. Use the name to indicate the type of reference. Returns an IReference object that represents the link.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	ApplyStereotype(IStereotype)	Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype.(Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
	Delete()	Deletes this element and any relationships, owned elements, and shapes.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	DeleteAllReference(String)	Remove all the references of a given tag.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetBounds()	The multiplicity as a string in the form [LowerValue]..[UpperValue].(Defined by MultiplicityElementExtensions.)
	GetId()	Gets a GUID that identifies this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetModelStore()	Overloaded. Gets the IModelStore that contains this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetReferences(String)	Get the IReferences of a given tag that are associated with this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedElements<T>()	Gets elements related to this element by relationships of the specified type.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetRelatedLinks<T>()	Gets relationships of a specified type from or to this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	SetBounds(String)	Set the multiplicity LowerValue/UpperValue based on a string in the form [LowerValue]..[UpperValue]. [UpperValue] may be '*'.(Defined by MultiplicityElementExtensions.)
	Shapes(IDiagram)	Overloaded. All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram.(Defined by PresentationHelpers.)

Remarks

Note

The methods defined on this type are extension methods. To use the methods, you must add a project reference to the .NET assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.dll, and you must include the directive using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Uml; in your code.
