C# Class Company.OrmLanguage.EntityElementSerializer

This method calculates a moniker to a given EntityElement instance.

EntityElementSerializer Constructor

A domain class can be monikerized in different ways: standard /qualifier/key mechanism, custom moniker, or element ID. If the domain class is serialized using standard /qualifier/key mechanism, this method returns the qualifier of the moniker; if the domain class uses other ways for monikerization, this method returns empty string.

Public Read() method that deserializes one EntityElement instance from XML.

When this method is called, caller guarantees that the passed-in XML reader is positioned at the open XML tag of the EntityElement element that is about to be deserialized. The method needs to ensure that when it returns, the reader is positioned at the open XML tag of the next sibling element, or the close tag of the parent element (or EOF).

Reset the serializer

Clear the cached information about any derived classes so that it is recalculated.

This method creates a correct instance of EntityElement based on the tag currently pointed by the reader. If the reader is positioned at a serialized EntityElement, a new EntityElement instance will be created in the given partition, otherwise null is returned.

The caller will guarantee that the reader is positioned at open XML tag of the next element being read. This method should not move the reader; the reader should remain at the same position when this method returns.

This method creates a Moniker of the correct derived (including EntityElement itself) instance of EntityElement based on the tag currently pointed by the reader.

The caller will guarantee that the reader is positioned at open XML tag of the next element being read. This method should not move the reader; the reader should remain at the same position when this method returns.

Public Write() method that serializes one EntityElement instance into XML.

Public WriteMoniker() method that writes a monikerized EntityElement instance into XML.

This method creates an instance of EntityElement based on the tag currently pointed by the reader. The reader is guaranteed (by the caller) to be pointed at a serialized instance of EntityElement.

The caller will guarantee that the reader is positioned at open XML tag of the ModelRoot instance being read. This method should not move the reader; the reader should remain at the same position when this method returns.

This method creates a Moniker of EntityElement based on the tag currently pointed by the reader.

The caller will guarantee that the reader is positioned at open XML tag of the next element being read. This method should not move the reader; the reader should remain at the same position when this method returns.

This methods deserializes nested XML elements inside the passed-in element.

The caller will guarantee that the current element does have nested XML elements, and the call will position the reader at the open tag of the first child XML element. This method will read as many child XML elements as it can. It returns under three circumstances: 1) When an unknown child XML element is encountered. In this case, this method will position the reader at the open tag of the unknown element. This implies that if the first child XML element is unknown, this method should return immediately and do nothing. 2) When all child XML elemnets are read. In this case, the reader will be positioned at the end tag of the parent element. 3) EOF.

This methods serializes 1) properties serialized as nested XML elements and 2) child model elements into XML.

Construct the mapping from Moniker Xml tag name to DomainClassInfo that derives from EntityElement.

Construct the apping from XmlTagName to DomainClassInfo that derives from EntityElement.

This method deserializes all child model elements.

The caller will position the reader at the open tag of the first child XML element to deserialized. This method will read as many child elements as it can. It returns under three circumstances: 1) When an unknown child XML element is encountered. In this case, this method will position the reader at the open tag of the unknown element. This implies that if the first child XML element is unknown, this method should return immediately and do nothing. 2) When all child XML elemnets are read. In this case, the reader will be positioned at the end tag of the parent element. 3) EOF.

Reads all instances of relationship EntityHasProperties.

The caller will position the reader at the open tag of the first XML element inside the relationship tag, so it can be either the first instance, or a bogus tag. This method will deserialize all instances and ignore all bogus tags. When the method returns, the reader will be positioned at the end tag of the relationship (or EOF if somehow that happens).

Reads all instances of relationship EntityHasReferences.

The caller will position the reader at the open tag of the first XML element inside the relationship tag, so it can be either the first instance, or a bogus tag. This method will deserialize all instances and ignore all bogus tags. When the method returns, the reader will be positioned at the end tag of the relationship (or EOF if somehow that happens).
