Session.CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(CancellationToken, XPClassInfo[]) Method

Asynchronously stores valid persistent types for the specified persistent class metadata information.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v24.1.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid, DevExpress.Win.TreeMap, DevExpress.Xpo

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Xpo

Declaration

C#

public Task CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(
    CancellationToken cancellationToken,
    params XPClassInfo[] types
)

VB.NET

Public Function CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(
    cancellationToken As CancellationToken,
    ParamArray types As XPClassInfo()
) As Task

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
cancellationToken	CancellationToken	A CancellationToken object that delivers a cancellation notice to the running operation.
types	XPClassInfo[]	An array of the XPClassInfo objects for which the persistent types will be stored in the metadata information.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	A Task that stores valid persistent types for the specified persistent class metadata information.

Remarks

For thread-safe data access layers (see ThreadSafeDataLayer) to function correctly, it’s necessary to provide complete metadata information on the persistent objects in a data store before performing any operations with persistent objects. Call the CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync method and pass persistent class metadata information as the types parameter to store valid persistent types for the corresponding persistent objects. This creates all the necessary records within a special table called XPObjectType which is used to support object polymorphism.
