Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddExtension(Guid)	Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with newly instantiated extension of the identified domain type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	AddExtension(Type)	Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of the specified type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	AddExtension(DomainClassInfo)	Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of the specified domain type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of that type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	AddExtension(ExtensionElement)	Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a specific extension. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of the same type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	AddExtension<T>()	Overloaded. Extend this ModelElement with a newly instantiated extension of a particular type. An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the element already has an extension of the same type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	CanDelete	Deletes the element from the model. (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
	GetAllExtensions	Return an enumerable that performs a breadth first traversal across the tree of extension elements embedded in this ModelElement. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetBaseElement	Returns the root of the virtual MEL in which the specified ModelElement is participating. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetDslDefinitionModelElement	This method guarantees that the real model element corresponding to the PresentationElement is returned. For DslDesigner PELs, the corresponding subject may actually be an internal TreeNode class and not the actual MEL. This method handles those cases correctly so that the actual MEL is returned. (Defined by PresentationElementHelper.)
	GetExtension(Guid)	Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetExtension(Type)	Overloaded. Get the ExtensionElement of the specified type from the available extensions of this ModelElement. If the element has no such extension then an InvalidOperationException will be raised. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetExtension(DomainClassInfo)	Overloaded. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetExtension<T>()	Overloaded. Get the ExtensionElement of the specified type from the available extensions of this ModelElement. If the element has no such extension then an InvalidOperationException will be raised. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	GetLocks	Get the lock flags for this element. This will include any locks enabled on the Partition containing the element. (Defined by ImmutabilityExtensionMethods.)
	IsExtendedBy(Guid)	Overloaded. Query whether this ModelElement is currently extended by an ExtensionElement of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)
	IsExtendedBy(Type)	Overloaded. Query whether this ModelElement is currently extended by an ExtensionElement of a particular type. (Defined by ModelElementExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

NodeShape is the base class from which all other non-connector shapes derive. When you define a shape class in DSL Definition, its default base class is NodeShape, unless you explicitly set another shape class as the base.

A NodeShape is usually the graphical representation of an instance of a domain class. The domain class represents conceptual information, and the shape represents its visible appearance on the diagram. In the DSL Definition, you define a Diagram Element Map between the shape class and the domain class. At run time, you can access the domain class instance by using the property ModelElement.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
