Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

void RegisterEntity(
    string name,
    Type interfaceType,
    Type baseClass
)

VB.NET

Sub RegisterEntity(
    name As String,
    interfaceType As Type,
    baseClass As Type
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	String	A sting representing a name by which the specified Domain Component is registered.
interfaceType	Type	A Type object representing a Domain Component.
baseClass	Type	A Type object representing a type used as the generated class’ ancestor.

Remarks

With the Domain Components Technology, you define an interface instead of declaring a regular business class. The actual business class is automatically generated by XAF at run time. The name of a generated business class is specified by the name parameter. The class generated for an interface registered via this method is derived from the class specified by the baseClass parameter. The list of available base classes is provided in the Base Persistent Classes topic. There are other overloads of RegisterEntity, which do not take the baseClass parameter, and use the DCBaseObject class as the ancestor.
