Class ReferencePredicate

The base class for predicates that applies to a ReferenceValidationContext. Standard extension methods are provided on ReferencePredicateExtensions. You can create your own predicates by deriving a new class from this one and exposing the API as a extension methods of ReferencePredicateBuilder.

ReferencePredicate

public abstract class ReferencePredicate : ICompileTimeSerializable

This class implements ICompileTimeSerializable. All predicates must therefore be serializable.

Name	Description
ReferencePredicate(ReferencePredicateBuilder)	Initializes a new instance of the ReferencePredicate class and provides a ReferencePredicateBuilder.

Name	Description
Builder	Gets the ReferencePredicateBuilder from which the current predicate was built, or `null` if the object was null without a ReferencePredicateBuilder.
Granularity	Gets the granularity including the modifiers such as `And`, `Or` or `Not`.

Name	Description
GetGranularity()	Gets the granularity of validation required by this predicate, effect ignoring any modifier such as `And`, `Or` or `Not`. For instance, if the predicate only compares the namespace, it should return Namespace.
IsMatch(ReferenceValidationContext)	Gets a value indicating whether the predicate matches the given ReferenceValidationContext, taking the optional modifier (e.g. an `And`, `Or` or `Not` modifier).
IsMatchCore(ReferenceValidationContext)	Gets a value indicating whether the current predicate matches the given ReferenceValidationContext, ignoring any modifier such as `And`, `Or` or `Not`.
