IObjectNode Interface

A node in an activity diagram that can specify the type of data sent between actions, and can also define data filters. Data and control tokens can be buffered.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Activities
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Interfaces (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Interfaces.dll)

The IObjectNode type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Activity	Activity that owns the node. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	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.)
	ClientDependencies	Gets the Dependency relationships for which this element is the Client. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Description	The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
	Incomings	Edges that have the node as target. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	InStates	If not empty, this node accepts only objects in the specified states.
	IsControlType	True if the node should be connected to control flows rather than data flows. The node can be used to specify that one or more control tokens can be buffered.
	IsLeaf	True if this element should not be specialized. That is, it should not be the target of a Generalization relationship. (Inherited from IRedefinableElement.)
	Name	The name of this element within the Namespace that contains it. In this Namespace, there should be no other element that has this Name. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Namespace	Gets the Namespace in which this element is defined. May be null. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Ordering	Specifies the ordering in which tokens will be processed. For example if FIFO, tokens will be output in the order that they arrive.
	Outgoings	Edges that have the node as source. (Inherited from IActivityNode.)
	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.)
	QualifiedName	Gets the name of this element, prefixed with the Qualified Name of the Namespace that contains it. Empty if the Name is empty or if the Qualified Name of the Namespace is empty. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	Selection	If defined, this Behavior chooses which object to output next, from the objects buffered in the node.
	Type	The type of instance that can be assigned to the element. If not specified, any instance can be assigned. (Inherited from ITypedElement.)
	UpperBound	The maximum number of tokens allowed in the node. '*' means there is no limit. Objects cannot flow into the node if the upper bound is reached.
	Visibility	Defines where the element can be referenced. Public = visible anywhere; private = visible only in the owning Namespace; protected = visible to elements that have a generalization relationship to the owning Namespace; package = visible only in the Package owning the Namespace, if there is one. Default = public. (Inherited from INamedElement.)
	VisibleAppliedStereotypes	(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddReference	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	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	Remove all the references of a given tag. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetActivityEdgeSources	The nodes sourcing edges incoming to this one (Defined by ActivityExtensions.)
	GetActivityEdgeTargets	The nodes targeted by edges outgoing from this one (Defined by ActivityExtensions.)
	GetDependencyClients	Return a collection of elements that are dependent on this. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetDependencySuppliers	Return a collection of elements on which this is dependent. (Defined by NamedElementExtensions.)
	GetId	Gets a GUID that identifies this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetModelStore	Gets the IModelStore that contains this element. (Defined by UmlExtensions.)
	GetReferences	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.)
	GetUpperBound	The upper bound of the current ObjectNode. int.MaxValue is returned if the upper bound is '*'. (Defined by ObjectNodeExtensions.)
	SetUpperBound	Set the upper bound. Set the newBound to int.MaxValue to indicate that the upper bound is '*'. (Defined by ObjectNodeExtensions.)
	Shapes	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.
