Class EdmTypeField<EntityT, DeSerializersT, EdmT, NullableT, SelectableT>

Represents a property of an OData entity with an EDM type.

EdmTypeFields are used as static properties of entities or EDM typed fields of complex type fields. They are generated from the OData metadata, i.e. for each property of an OData entity, that has an EDM type, there is one static instance of EdmTypeField (or rather one of its subclasses) in the corresponding generated class file. EdmTypeFields are used to represent the domain of more or less primitive values that can be used in select, filter and order by functions. For example, when constructing a query on the BusinessPartner entity, an instance of EdmTypeField<BusinessPartner, string> can be supplied as argument to the select function, e.g. BusinessPartner.FIRST_NAME.
