The IBehavior type exposes the following members.

Public property OwningTemplateParameter If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.)
Public property Package Gets the package to which the type belongs. (Inherited from IType.)
Public property PackageImports Gets the packages that are imported by this namespace. (Inherited from INamespace.)
Public property Parts Gets the Properties of which this classifier is composed. (Inherited from IStructuredClassifier.)
Public property 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.)
Public property Specification The behavioral feature that the Behavior implements.
Public property SuperClasses Gets the Classes from which this class inherits features. (Inherited from IClass.)
Public property TemplateBindings Gets the Bindings in which this element is used. (Inherited from ITemplateableElement.)
Public property TemplateParameter If not null, this element is defined as a parameter in a template. (Inherited from IParameterableElement.)
Public property TypedElements Gets the Typed elements that are constrained to contain values of this type. (Inherited from IType.)
Public property UseCases Gets the Use Cases for which this Classifier is the Subject. (Inherited from IClassifier.)
Public property 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.)
Public property VisibleAppliedStereotypes (Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

  Name Description
Public Extension Method 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.)
Public Extension Method ApplyStereotype Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype. (Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
Public Extension Method CreateAttribute Create a new IProperty object in the Class (Defined by ClassExtensions.)
Public Extension Method CreateConnector Connect the source element to a target element, such as a Part or Port. If the source or target is a Port located on a Part, specify both. (Defined by ConnectableElementExtensions.)
Public Extension Method CreateGeneralization Create a new generalization of this classifier. An IGeneralization relationship is created between this and another given classifier. (Defined by ClassifierExtensions.)
Public Extension Method CreateInteraction Create a new IInteraction object in the BehavioredClassifier (Defined by BehavioredClassifierExtensions.)
