An association specifies a semantic relationship that can occur between typed instances. It has at least two ends represented by properties, each of which is connected to the type of the end. More than one end of an association may have the same type.

An end property of an association that is owned by an end class or that is a navigable owned end of the association indicates that the association is navigable from the opposite ends, otherwise the association is not navigable from the opposite ends.

Constructors

Association()

Creates a new instance

public Association()

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; }

Property Value

IClass

IsDerived

Specifies whether the association is derived from other model elements such as other associations or constraints. The default value is false.

[TypeConverter(typeof(LowercaseBooleanConverter))]
[XmlElementName("isDerived")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public bool IsDerived { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

MemberEnd

Each end represents participation of instances of the classifier connected to the end in links of the association. This is an ordered association.

[LowerBound(2)]
[XmlElementName("memberEnd")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
[XmlOpposite("association")]
public IOrderedSetExpression<IProperty> MemberEnd { get; }

Property Value

IOrderedSetExpression<IProperty>

NavigableOwnedEnd

The navigable ends that are owned by the association itself.

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlElementName("navigableOwnedEnd")]
[XmlAttribute(false)]
[Containment]
public IOrderedSetExpression<IProperty> NavigableOwnedEnd { get; }

Property Value

IOrderedSetExpression<IProperty>

ReferencedElements

Gets the referenced model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

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
