Properties

Name	Description
Active	Gets or sets whether this Property Definition is Active. Inactive PropertyDefinitions and the associated PropertyValues should not be displayed in any GUI
AssociatedEntityClasses	Gets the list of Entity Classes that use this PropertyDefinition
BasicSearch	Gets whether or not this Property Definition can take part in a Basic Search operation
Constraints	Gets or sets the constraints associated with this Property Definition.
DataType	Gets or sets the Data Type for this Property Definition
DefaultValue	Gets or sets the Default Value that will be applied to entities that do not have an existing value associated with this PropertyDefinition
Dependencies	Gets a list of PropertyDefinitions that this PropertyDefinition depends on to compute it's value. This can be used for internal PropertyDefinitions where the value for one property is computed based on the value of another
DisplayName	Gets or sets the Display name for this Property Definition
HasListValues	Gets whether or not this PropertyDefinition has a List Of Values associated with it
Id	Gets the unique identifier for a server-based property definition. This will have a value of InternalPropertyId if this PropertyDefinition is not associated with a server object.
IsCalculated	Gets if this propdef represents properties that are calculated on the client (not based on any server entity, in which case the systemName is the point of uniqueness)
IsDynamic	Gets or sets whether or not this propdef is dynamic. A "dynamic propdef" is one whose value can change for any one iteration of an entity (regardless of tip or not). For example, the file compliance property is dynamic in that compliance can change within one iteration of a file.
IsSearchable	Gets or sets if this property is searchable via Advanced Search. The default value is that all non-internal properties are searchable.
IsSystem	Gets whether or not this is a System Property (as opposed to a UserDefined property)
ManagedDataType	Gets the .NET data type that will be returned from Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.Services.Connection.IPropertyManager.GetPropertyValues for properties associated with this PropertyDefinition
Mappings	Gets or sets the mappings for this Property Definition. The mappings determine the relationship between PropertyDefinitions and ContentSourcePropertyDefinition's
SystemName	Gets the System Name for this Property Definition.
ValueList	Gets or sets an array of possible values for properties based on this property definition.

Methods

Name	Description
AddDependency	Makes this Property Definitions value dependent on the value of another Property Definition
Equals	Tests if obj is equal to this PropertyDefinition object.
GetDoNotCache	Gets whether the framework can cache property values associated with this Property Definition
GetRetrievalAlgorithm	Gets the Retrieval Algorithm for this PropertyDefinition, which is used to determine how property values for this definition should be retrieved.
SetDoNotCache	Sets whether the framework can cache property values associated with this Property Definition
SetRetrievalAlgorithm	Gets the Retrieval Algorithm for this PropertyDefinition, which is used to determine how property values for this definition should be retrieved.
SupportsEntityClass	Gets whether or not this PropertyDefinition is associated with the specified entity class
