	DestinationEntity	Obsolete. Gets the destination entity in an association.
	Id	Obsolete. Gets the unique ID of the metadata object from the metadata repository. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	IsCached	Obsolete. Indicates whether this metadata object is cached or not. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	LocalizedDisplayName	Obsolete. Gets or sets the localized display name for the metadata object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	LocalizedDisplayNames	Obsolete. Gets all the localized display names available for this metadata object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Method	Obsolete. Returns the method the method instance belongs to. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	MethodId	Obsolete. Returns the ID of the method the method instance belongs to. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	MethodInstanceType	Obsolete. Sets or gets the type of the method instance. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	Name	Obsolete. Gets or sets the name of the metadata object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Properties	Obsolete. Gets all the properties that belong to this metadata object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ContainsLocalizedDisplayName	Obsolete. Indicates whether the metadata object contains a localized display name. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	CopyAclAcrossChildren	Obsolete. A virtual method that is designed to copy the list of access control entries (ACEs) associated with the metadata object to all of its children metadata objects. Each individually securable metadata object inherits from this class and provides its own implementation of this method. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	Create	Obsolete.
	Delete	Obsolete. Deletes an association object. (Overrides MethodInstance.Delete().)
	DeleteInternal	Obsolete. When overridden in a derived class, deletes the metadata object and all of its children as per the specified SQL command. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetAccessControlList	Obsolete. A virtual method that is designed to return the list of access control entries (ACEs) associated with the metadata object registered in the Business Data Catalog. Each individually securable metadata object inherits from this class and provides its own implementation of this method. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	GetById	Obsolete. Gets an Association object given its ID.
	GetByName	Obsolete.
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetIndividuallySecurableMetadataObjectChildren	Obsolete. Returns the individually securable metadata objects. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	GetNearestIndividuallySecurableMetadataObjectAncestor	Obsolete. Returns the nearest individually securable ancestor. Of the 13 metadata objects, only LobSystem, Entity, Method, and MethodInstance have their own individually securable access control list (ACL). Other metadata objects inherit the ACL from their immediate individually securable parent. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	IsPrimitive	Obsolete. Indicates whether the metadata object is of the specified primitive type. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	MergeXml	Obsolete.
	Read	Obsolete. Reads an Association object from the metadata database, overwriting the current value of the fields of the object with whatever was present in the database. (Overrides MethodInstance.Read().)
	ReadInternal	Obsolete. When overridden in a derived class, reads the metadata object from the metadata repository and creates an object. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	ReadXml	Obsolete. Reads an Association object from an XML stream.
	SetAccessControlList	Obsolete. Sets the access control list for an individually securable metadata object. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	ToString	(Inherited from Object.)
	Update	Obsolete. Updates changes in the fields of an Association object by writing them to the metadata database. (Overrides MethodInstance.Update().)
	UpdateInternal	Obsolete. Reserved for internal use. (Inherited from MethodInstance.)
	WriteXml	Obsolete. Writes an Association object to the XML stream. (Overrides MethodInstance.WriteXml(XmlWriter, PackageContents).)
	WriteXmlLocalizedNames	Obsolete. Writes the specified XML fragment containing localized names in the metadata repository. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXmlProperties	Obsolete. Writes the specified XML fragment containing properties in the metadata repository. (Inherited from MetadataObject.)
	WriteXmlSecurity(XmlWriter)	Obsolete. Writes the XML fragment containing security information to the metadata repository. (Inherited from IndividuallySecurableMetadataObject.)
	WriteXmlSecurity(XmlWriter, PackageContents)	Obsolete. Writes the XML fragment containing security information. (Inherited from AccessControlledMetadataObject.)
