Methods

AddFileFooterAndCloseNamespaces(ClassFileWriter)

Closes the [LemonEdge.Entities] namespace started by AddFileHeadersAndNamespace(ClassFileWriter, String)

Declaration

public static void AddFileFooterAndCloseNamespaces(ClassFileWriter writer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ClassFileWriter	writer	The writer to close the namespace on

AddFileHeadersAndNamespace(ClassFileWriter, String)

Adds the standard using statements required for the entity defintion code to work correctly in LemonEdge, and starts the namespace [LemonEdge.Entities]

Declaration

public static string WriteFile(EntityDescriptor descriptor, string customUsing)

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	A string of the complete c# code for this entity

WriteToFile(EntityDescriptor, ClassFileWriter, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty>)

Declaration

public static void WriteToFile(EntityDescriptor descriptor, ClassFileWriter writer, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty> props)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
EntityDescriptor	descriptor	An entitydescriptor describing the interface. This is loaded dynamically from an interface type, or for a custom object from CreateTempFrom(ICustomObject, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty>)
ClassFileWriter	writer	The writer to add the generated code to
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty>	props	If this interface comes from a ICustomObject then this optionally holds the custom object properties, used to provide custom attributes and validation to the generated interface
