EntityFilterChainTEntity Class

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

Initializes a new instance using the provided EntitySetTEntity and value indicating if entities should be matched against multiple filters.

Gets the list of filters being managed by this chain. After changing this collection, you must call ApplyChanges in order for the changes to take effect.

Gets the set of entities that do not match any of the filters in the chain.

Gets or sets the input entity set being filtered. After setting this property, you must call ApplyChanges in order for the change to take effect.

Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.

Gets or sets the MatchingStrategy used to place entities into the Filters collection. You must call ApplyChanges in order for the change to take effect.

Applies any changes so that they take effect the next time RedistributeEntities is invoked. It is necessary to call this method after setting the InputEntities and MatchingStrategy properties and after modifying the Filters collection.

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).

Clones this object using the specified context.

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method.

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling EnumerateT(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.

Called by Freeze to also freeze any objects that are considered to be a part of this object. Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and freeze aggregated objects introduced by the derived class. The objects that need to be frozen in this method are frequently created in this object's constructor and are not settable via properties.

Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Redistributes all entities in InputEntities among the specified Filters using a new Transaction.

Redistributes all entities in InputEntities among the specified Filters using the provided Transaction.

Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
