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.) |
|
BodyConditions | Gets a constraint on the values returned from the Operation. Defined only if IsQuery = True. |
|
Class | Gets the Class that owns this operation. May be null. |
|
ClientDependencies | Gets the Dependency relationships for which this element is the Client. (Inherited from INamedElement.) |
|
Concurrency | Defines how calls from separate threads are processed. Sequential = the feature is not designed to handle concurrent calls; Guarded = calls will be blocked so that only one is processed at a time; concurrent = multiple calls can proceed concurrently. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.) |
|
Description | The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.) |
|
FeaturingClassifiers | Gets the Classifiers on which this Feature appears. (Inherited from IFeature.) |
|
Interface | Gets the Interface that owns this Operation. May be null. |
|
IsAbstract | True if this is a partial description intended to be extended or overridden in specializing classes. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.) |
|
IsLeaf | True if this element should not be specialized. That is, it should not be the target of a Generalization relationship. (Inherited from IRedefinableElement.) |
|
IsOrdered | For a return type with multiplicity > 1. True if the returned collection forms a sequence with a definite ordering. |
|
IsQuery | True if execution of the Operation leaves the state of the system unchanged. |
|
IsStatic | True if this feature is shared by all the instances of its classifier. False if each instance effectively has a separate copy of the feature. (Inherited from IFeature.) |
|
IsUnique | For a return type with multiplicity > 1. True if each value in the returned collection is different from the other values. |
|
Lower | Gets the lower multiplicity of the return value, if there is one. |
|
Members | Gets the elements that are part of this Namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.) |
|
Methods | Gets Methods that implement the Behavioral Feature. There may be at most one behavior for each pairing of a classifier (as owner of the behavior) and a behavioral feature (as specification of the behavior). (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.) |
|
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.) |
|
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.) |
|
OwnedMembers | Gets the elements that are defined within this Namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.) |
|
OwnedParameters | Gets the ordered set of formal parameters owned by this BehavioralFeature. The parameter direction can be in, inout, out, or return. (Inherited from IBehavioralFeature.) |
|
Owner | Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner.(Inherited from IElement.) |
|
OwningTemplateParameter | If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.) |
|
PackageImports | Gets the packages that are imported by this namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.) |
|
Postconditions | Gets the Constraints that should be satisfied when the Operation completes. |
|
Preconditions | Gets the constraints that should be satisfied before the Operation is invoked. |
|
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.) |
|
Signature | Gets a string representing the visibility, name, parameters, and return type of the Operation. For example: +Cook(p1:Heat):Food |
|
TemplateBindings | Gets the Bindings in which this element is used. (Inherited from ITemplateableElement.) |
|
TemplateParameter | If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.) |
|
Type | The type of the return value, if there is one. |
|
Upper | Gets the upper multiplicity of the return value, if there is one. |
|
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(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.) |
|
CreateBodyConditionConstraint() | Create a new bodyCondition IConstraint owned by Operation.(Defined by OperationExtensions.) |
|
CreatePackageImport(IPackage) | Import a package into a namespace. Creates an IPackageImport link to the package.(Defined by NamespaceExtensions.) |
|
CreateParameter() | Create a new IParameter object in the Behavioral Feature(Defined by BehavioralFeatureExtensions.) |
|
CreatePostconditionConstraint() | Create a new postcondition IConstraint owned by Operation.(Defined by OperationExtensions.) |
|
CreatePreconditionConstraint() | Create a new precondition IConstraint owned by Operation.(Defined by OperationExtensions.) |
|
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.) |
|
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.) |
|

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.
