Methods
| ConstructNode(Object) | |
| ConvertFromFilterNode(FilterNode) | |
| ConvertFromFilterNode(FilterNode, Type) | |
| ConvertFromString(String, String) |
Converts string to an object of specified type. Type must be supported. UnsupportedTypeException thrown otherwise. Catches FormatException and throws TypeConversionException. |
| ConvertToFilterNode() | |
| ConvertToIntWithCheck(String) |
Converts string to integer. Catches FormatException and throws TypeConversionException. |
| ConvertToString(Object) |
Converts an object to its string representation understandable by ConvertFromString |
| DeepClone() |
Creates a deep clone of the current expresion. The evaluation results are copied by reference, not by value. |
| Deserialize(String) |
Deserialize from string - creates XmlReader and calls actual deserializer |
| Deserialize(XmlReader) |
Static method - provides generic way for deserializing nodes calls to virtual method DeserializeProperties to read properties of particular node objectTypeName |
| DeserializeProperties(XmlReader, Boolean) |
Virtual method for children classes to deserialize thier properties |
| DeserializeResult(XmlReader) |
Deserializes Last Result |
| DeserializeWithResult(String) |
Deserialize from string - creates XmlReader and calls actual deserializer. The ExpressionNode will contail the result of the evaluation for the particular target that has generated this serialized version of the node. |
| DoConvertToFilterNode() | |
| DoEnumAttributes(List<String>) |
Actual tree enumerator |
| EnumChildren() |
Enumerates Children of the Node |
| EqualProperties(Object) |
virtual method for descendants to implement type specific comparison |
| Equals(Object) |
Overriden Equals to support value comparison Inheritants implement EqualProperties method for type sepcific comparison |
| Evaluate(FacetEvaluationContext) |
Evaluates the node (tree) using supplied Management Facet context |
| Evaluate(FacetEvaluationContext, Boolean) |
Evaluates the node (tree) using supplied Management Facet context |
| GetHashCode() |
Overriden to support overriden Equals |
| GetResult() |
Result of the latest Evaluation |
| GetResultString() |
Result of the latest Evaluation as a String |
| MatchType<T>(String) |
Static method - provides generic way of obtaining enum types from their string names |
| MoveToElementWithCheck(XmlReader, String) |
Moves to the node with specified type and name (if supplied) |
| Parse(String) |
Parses input string into ExpressionNode |
| Parse(String, Type) |
Parses input string into ExpressionNode and verifies against given Facet |
| ReadElementWithCheck(XmlReader, String) |
Reads and verifies named element in its entirety (Element - Text - EndElement) |
| ReadEndElement(XmlReader) |
Reads and verifies instance specific end node element |
| ReadNodeWithCheck(XmlReader, String[]) |
Reads and veirifies specified ExpressionNode properties. Stops after reading the last requested element. Requested properties must be listed in the order they appear in the stream. |
| ReadSimpleNodeWithCheck(XmlReader, ExpressionNodeType, String[]) |
Reads and verifies simple (with no children) ExpressionNode in its entirety, including end element. Requested properties must be listed in the order they appear in the stream. |
| ReadWithCheck(XmlReader, XmlNodeType, String) |
Reads the next xml node and verifies it has expected type and name (if supplied) |
| ResolveEnum(String, String) |
Constructs Enum object from its string representation |
| Serialize(XmlWriter) |
Base serialization routine - creates start and end elements calls to virtual method SerializeProperties to output properties of particular node objectTypeName |
| SerializeNode(ExpressionNode) |
Serializes given Node to a string |
| SerializeNodeWithResult(ExpressionNode) |
Serializes given Node to a string |
| SerializeProperties(XmlWriter, Boolean) |
Virtual method for children classes to serialize thier properties |
| SerializeResult(XmlWriter) |
Includes Last Result into serialization output |
| SetFilterNodeCompatible(Boolean) | |
| SetHasScript(Boolean) | |
| SetNameConditionType(NameConditionType) | |
| SetNodeType(ExpressionNodeType) | |
| SetObjectName(String) | |
| SetProperties() |
Sets class properties (HasScript, NameConditionType, ...) |
| SetTypeClass(TypeClass) | |
| ToString() |
Represents Expression as a string in T-SQL like syntax |
| ToStringForDisplay() |
A special method to display some simple node in the UI in simplified form, which cannot always be parsed back |
| ToStringForUrn() |
Represents Expression as a string in T-SQL like syntax, which can be used in URN |
