Methods

ConvertBack<T>(IDictionary<string, EntityProperty>, OperationContext)

Reconstructs the complete object graph of type T using the flattened entity property dictionary and returns reconstructed object. The property dictionary may contain only basic properties, only nested properties or a mix of both types.

public static T ConvertBack<T>(IDictionary<string, EntityProperty> flattenedEntityProperties, OperationContext operationContext)

Parameters

flattenedEntityProperties IDictionary<string, EntityProperty>

The flattened entity property dictionary.

operationContext OperationContext

An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.

Returns

T

The result containing the reconstructed object with its full object hierarchy.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the object to populate

ConvertBack<T>(IDictionary<string, EntityProperty>, EntityPropertyConverterOptions, OperationContext)

Reconstructs the complete object graph of type T using the flattened entity property dictionary and returns reconstructed object. The property dictionary may contain only basic properties, only nested properties or a mix of both types.

public static T ConvertBack<T>(IDictionary<string, EntityProperty> flattenedEntityProperties, EntityPropertyConverterOptions entityPropertyConverterOptions, OperationContext operationContext)

Parameters

flattenedEntityProperties IDictionary<string, EntityProperty>

The flattened entity property dictionary.

entityPropertyConverterOptions EntityPropertyConverterOptions

A EntityPropertyConverterOptions object that specifies options for the entity property conversion.

operationContext OperationContext

An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.

Returns

T

The result containing the reconstructed object with its full object hierarchy.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the object to populate

Flatten(object, OperationContext)

Traverses object graph, flattens and converts all nested (and not nested) properties to EntityProperties, stores them in the property dictionary. The keys are constructed by appending the names of the properties visited during pre-order depth first traversal from root to each end node property delimited by '_'. Allows complex objects to be stored in persistent storage systems or passed between web services in a generic way.

public static Dictionary<string, EntityProperty> Flatten(object root, OperationContext operationContext)

Parameters

root object

The object to flatten and convert.

operationContext OperationContext

An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.

Returns

Dictionary<string, EntityProperty>

The result containing IDictionary<TKey, TValue> of EntityProperty objects for all properties of the flattened root object.

Flatten(object, EntityPropertyConverterOptions, OperationContext)

Traverses object graph, flattens and converts all nested (and not nested) properties to EntityProperties, stores them in the property dictionary. The keys are constructed by appending the names of the properties visited during pre-order depth first traversal from root to each end node property delimited by '_'. Allows complex objects to be stored in persistent storage systems or passed between web services in a generic way.

public static Dictionary<string, EntityProperty> Flatten(object root, EntityPropertyConverterOptions entityPropertyConverterOptions, OperationContext operationContext)

Parameters

root object

The object to flatten and convert.

entityPropertyConverterOptions EntityPropertyConverterOptions

A EntityPropertyConverterOptions object that specifies options for the entity property conversion.

operationContext OperationContext

An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.

Returns

Dictionary<string, EntityProperty>

The result containing IDictionary<TKey, TValue> of EntityProperty objects for all properties of the flattened root object.
