Syntax

C++

Copy

public abstract class EntityObject : EditableDomainObject, 
	IEquatable<EntityObject>, ILazyObject, IFormattable

Public MustInherit Class EntityObject
	Inherits EditableDomainObject
	Implements IEquatable(Of EntityObject), ILazyObject, 
	IFormattable

public ref class EntityObject abstract : public EditableDomainObject, 
	IEquatable<EntityObject^>, ILazyObject, IFormattable

[<AbstractClassAttribute>]
type EntityObject =  
    class
        inherit EditableDomainObject
        interface IEquatable<EntityObject>
        interface ILazyObject
        interface IFormattable
    end

The EntityObject type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ChangingAttributes	Gets the attributes that are currently changing. Can be used in attribute change event handler to prevent stack overflow. (Inherited from EditableDomainObject.)
	ExtendedProperties	Extended properties contain temporary (not persisted) values in the object instance.
	Id	The unique Id of the entity object
	IsGhost	Returns true when the object is a ghost object (Overrides DomainObjectIsGhost.)
	IsLoaded	Gets a value indicating whether the associated data for this domain object is loaded.
	ItemString	Gets or sets the value of a data attribute (Inherited from DomainObject.)
	ItemIDataAttribute	Gets or sets the value of a data attribute (Inherited from DomainObject.)
	NoEvents	Turns on "No events" mode and returns a class, that will turn it off when Disposed. See remarks for more info. (Inherited from DomainObject.)
	ObjectState	Gets the state of the domain object. (Inherited from EditableDomainObject.)
	Repository	The repository used to persist the entity object
	Transaction	The transaction to which this object is attached (Inherited from DomainObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Delete	Deletes the domain object. (Overrides EditableDomainObjectDelete.)
	DuplicateObject	Creates a copy of the object.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object, is equal to this instance. (Overrides DomainObjectEquals(Object).)
	Equals(EntityObject)	Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
	ExecuteBusinessRules	Executes all business rules for the object for the specified BusinessEvent. The validation fails are saved in the event. (Inherited from EditableDomainObject.)
	GetAggregateParent	Gets the aggregate parent of this entity object. If this is the aggregate root the return value is null.
	GetAggregateRoot	Gets the aggregate root entity object. If the entity does not have aggregate parent reference aggregate root is this entity object.
	GetHashCode	Returns a hash code for this instance. (Overrides DomainObjectGetHashCode.)
	GetRelatedObjectsForValidation	Gets the related objects which would need validation upon validation of this object.
	IssueWarning(String)	Issues a warning with the specified message. (Inherited from EditableDomainObject.)
	IssueWarning(ExpressionFuncString, Object)	Issues a warning with the specified message. The message can contain standard string placeholders. (Inherited from EditableDomainObject.)
	Refresh	Refreshes this instance with data from data source. Only objects with ObjectState equal to Unchanged are refreshed.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents this instance. (Overrides DomainObjectToString.)
	ToString(String)	Returns a String that represents this instance.
	TryGet	Tries to get the specified attribute and returns it or null, when it is not found. (Inherited from DomainObject.)

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality	Returns true if the two entity objects have the same Id.
	Inequality	Returns true if the two entity objects have the different Ids.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	FillAggregateMissingDefaults	Recalculates the default values for all objects in the aggregate. (Defined by EntityObjectExtensions.)
	FillMissingDefaults	Executes the late default expression defined in each attribute (if any) if the current value is null or equal to a constant default. (Defined by EntityObjectExtensions.)
	FormatString	Converts the object to string based on the format specified. (Defined by FormatStringExtensions.)
	RecalculateMasterAttributes	Recalculates the values of a master attributes in a master-detail relationship. (Defined by EntityObjectExtensions.)
	RecalculateMissingValues	Recalculates the missing values using the first reactive expression of the attributes. (Defined by EntityObjectExtensions.)

Remarks

The most important aspect of the entity objects is that they have an unique Id. The entity objects are persisted in entity repositories, which have specialized methods to work with entity Id values. Entity objects are distinguished, based solely on their identity.
