Classes
  Class Description
Public class BackupValuesMap
Class that is used to track property changes on an Entity or ComplexObject. Instances of this type are used for both the EntityAspect.OriginalValuesMap as well as to track IEditableObject changes on an entity.
Public class BaseComplexObject
Default base class implementation of IComplexObject. All complex objects should inherit from this class either directly or indirectly.
Public class BaseEntity
Default base class implementation of IEntity. All entities should inherit from this class either directly or indirectly.
Public class CacheQueryOptions
Options that allow queries that will be run against cache to share the same semantics as the corresponding query against the Entity Framework and the backend database. Linq To Objects (CLR) and remote service queries do not automatically share the same semantics. This class allows Breeze queries against the EntityManager's cache (Linq to Objects queries) to be interpreted like they will be against the remote service.
Public class CamelCasePropertiesNamingConvention
The "camelCase" naming convention - This implementation only lowercases the first character of the server property name but leaves the rest of the property name intact. If a more complicated version is needed then another type should be created that inherits from NamingConvention.
Public class ComplexAspect
Provides entity services to a ComplexObject.
Public class ComplexType
Metadata information about a complex type.
Public class Configuration
A singleton class that provides basic registration mechanisms for a Breeze application.
Public class DataProperty
A DataProperty describes the metadata for a single property of an EntityType that contains simple data. Instances of the DataProperty class are constructed automatically during assembly probing and and then updated via Metadata retrieval from an entity server. Itt is also possible to update/extend them directly on the client.
Public class DataPropertyBuilder
Provides a fluent interface for configuring an DataProperty within the MetadataStore.
Public class DataService
A DataService instance is used to encapsulate the details of a single 'service'; this includes a serviceName, a dataService adapterInstance, and whether the service has server side metadata.
Public class DataServiceRequestException
Exception thrown when a DataService request fails. See the HttpResponse property for detailed information on the failed request.
Public class DataType
Metadata about any primitive data type. Each Breeze DataProperty for a primitive type (i.e. does not describe a ComplexObject) will have a DataType property.

Public class JsonEntityConverter
For internal use only.
Public class JsonNodeInfo
This types describes the result of each VisitNode(JObject, MappingContext, NodeContext) operation.
Public class LocalizedMessage
Describes a localized message. Each localized message instance is immutable.
Public class MappingContext
Used by the JsonResultsAdapter to provide information regarding the overall context of the currently executing operation.
Public class MaxLengthValidator
Validator implementation that checks that a string does not exceed a maximum length.
Public class MetadataMismatchEventArgs
Public class MetadataStore
An instance of the MetadataStore contains all of the metadata about a collection of EntityTypes and ComplexTypes.
Public class NamingConvention
A NamingConvention instance is used to specify the naming conventions under which the MetadataStore will translate type and property names between the server and the .NET client. The default NamingConvention does not perform any translation, it simply passes property names thru unchanged.
Public class NavigationProperty
A NavigationProperty describes the metadata for a single property of an EntityType that return instances of other EntityTypes. Instances of the NavigationProperty class are constructed automatically during Metadata retrieval. However it is also possible to construct them directly via the constructor.
Public class NavigationPropertyBuilderTEntity, TTarget
Provides a fluent interface for configuring an NavigatiomProperty within the MetadataStore.
Public class NavigationSetT
Concrete strongly typed implementation of the INavigationSet interface. Used, by default, for as the return type for all nonscalar navigation properties.
Public class NodeContext
Used by the IJsonResultsAdapter to provide information about the current node being processed.
Public class NumericDataType
Subtype of DataType for all numeric datatypes.
Public class PhoneNumberValidator
Public class QueryOptions
A QueryOptions instance is used to specify the 'options' under which a query will occur.
Public class QueryResultT
The actual result of any query that has an InlineCount specified. This class also implement IEnumerable{T} for the actual returned entities. If you want the InlineCount for any query you will need to cast the return type from the query into a QueryResult{T}).
Public class RangeValidatorT
Validator implementation that checks that a number falls within a specified range..
Public class RegexValidator
Validator implementation that determines if a given property matches a predefined regular expression pattern.
Public class RequiredValidator

Public class ValidationOptions
A ValidationOptions instance is used to specify the conditions under which validation will be executed. This may be set via the ValidationOptions property.
Public class Validator
Subclassed instances of the Validator class provide the logic to validate another object and provide a description of any errors encountered during the validation process. They are typically associated with a 'validators' property on the following types: EntityType, DataProperty or NavigationProperty. A number of property level validators are registered automatically, i.e added to each DataProperty.Validators property based on DataProperty metadata. For example, DataProperty.MaxLength -> MaxLengthValidator DataProperty.IsNullable -> RequiredValidator (if not nullable)
