Session.CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(CancellationToken, Boolean, Assembly[]) Method

Asynchronously stores valid persistent types for all the types which are defined within the specified assemblies.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public Task CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(
    CancellationToken cancellationToken,
    bool createOnlyNecessary,
    params Assembly[] assemblies
)

VB.NET

Public Function CreateObjectTypeRecordsAsync(
    cancellationToken As CancellationToken,
    createOnlyNecessary As Boolean,
    ParamArray assemblies As Assembly()
) As Task

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
cancellationToken	CancellationToken	A CancellationToken object that delivers a cancellation notice to the running operation.
createOnlyNecessary	Boolean	true, to create object type records only for types that require this to function properly, such as types from inheritance chains, or types utilizing deferred deletion; false, to create object type records for all persistent types.
assemblies	Assembly[]	An array of assemblies which contain the class types for which the persistent types will be stored in the metadata information.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	A Task that stores valid persistent types for all the types which are defined within the specified assemblies.

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.
