Stereotypes

Overview

Objecteering defines stereotypes which are used to designate certain objects as being concerned by the generation of C# code. In this way, a constraint concerning an operation will be used as a pre-condition if it carries the "CsPreCondition" stereotype.

Note: Certain stereotypes can be added to certain model elements directly through the "C#" tab of the auxiliary window. For more information, please see "The auxiliary window and C# Developer".

Stereotypes on a class

The ... stereotype	is used to ...
CsAttribute	generate a class as a C# attribute.
CsDelegateContainer	generate a class as a "delegate" container.
CsIndexer	define an indexer within a class.

Stereotypes on an operation

The ... stereotype	is used to ...
CsDelegate	declare an operation as being a "delegate".
CsOperator	declare a C# operator.
create	define a constructor.
destroy	define a destroyer.
CsStaticConstructor	define a static constructor.

Stereotypes on a constraint

The ... stereotype	is used to ...
CsInvariant	indicate an invariant expressed in C#. Such a constraint is only taken into account if it concerns a class.
CsPreCondition	indicate a pre-condition expressed in C#. Such a constraint is only taken into account if it concerns an operation.
CsPostCondition	indicate a post-condition expressed in C#. Such a constraint is only taken into account if it concerns an operation.
