Creates a new instance

public Element()

Properties

Children

Gets the child model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> Children { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

ClassInstance

Gets the Class model for this type

public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlElementName("ownedComment")]
[XmlAttribute(false)]
[Containment]
public IOrderedSetExpression<IComment> OwnedComment { get; }

IOrderedSetExpression<IComment>

ReferencedElements

Gets the referenced model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

Methods

AllOwnedElements()

The query allOwnedElements() gives all of the direct and indirect owned elements of an element. result = ownedElement->union(ownedElement->collect(e | e.allOwnedElements()))

public ISetExpression<IElement> AllOwnedElements()

Returns

ISetExpression<IElement>

Container() 

public IElement Container()

Returns

IElement

Delete() 

public void Delete()

GetClass()

Gets the Class for this model element

public override IClass GetClass()

Returns

IClass

GetCollectionForFeature(string)

Gets the Model element collection for the given feature

protected override IList GetCollectionForFeature(string feature)

Parameters

feature string

The requested feature

Returns

IList

A non-generic list of elements

GetCompositionName(object)

Gets the property name for the given container

protected override string GetCompositionName(object container)

Parameters

container object

The container object

Returns

string

The name of the respective container reference

GetMetaClass() 

public IClass GetMetaClass()

Returns

IClass

GetModelElementForReference(string, int)

Resolves the given URI to a child model element

protected override IModelElement GetModelElementForReference(string reference, int index)

Parameters

reference string

The requested reference name

index int

The index of this reference

Returns

IModelElement

The model element or null if it could not be found

GetRelativePathForNonIdentifiedChild(IModelElement)

Gets the relative URI fragment for the given child model element

protected override string GetRelativePathForNonIdentifiedChild(IModelElement element)

Parameters

element IModelElement

The element that should be looked for

Returns

string

A fragment of the relative URI

Has_owner(object, object)

Elements that must be owned must have an owner. self.mustBeOwned() implies owner->notEmpty()

public bool Has_owner(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object

The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context object

The cache of context-specific information.

Returns

bool

IsInstanceOfType(IClass, bool) 

public bool IsInstanceOfType(IClass type, bool includesSubtypes)

Parameters

type IClass
includesSubtypes bool

Returns

bool

MustBeOwned()

The query mustBeOwned() indicates whether elements of this type must have an owner. Subclasses of Element that do not require an owner must override this operation. result = true

public bool MustBeOwned()

Returns

bool

Not_own_self(object, object)

An element may not directly or indirectly own itself. not self.allOwnedElements()->includes(self)

public bool Not_own_self(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object

The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context object

The cache of context-specific information.

Returns

bool
