You can set the [HasCustomConstructor] property on a domain class to true to indicate that you are providing one or more custom constructors. When you use a custom constructor, you define how the constructor is initialized.
Custom Constructors Example
The following example references a real-world domain model, Library.dsl, to define a custom constructor for a domain class called [CirculationBook]. To add custom constructors, you create a partial class, define one or more constructors in it, and then add the partial class to the project.
The [CirculationBook] domain class has the GeneratesDoubleDerived property set to true. Therefore, you must define custom constructors for both the [CirculationBook]class and the[CirculationBookBase] abstract base class.
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling;
namespace ExampleNamespace
{
public partial class CirculationBookBase
{
public CirculationBookBase(Partition partition, PropertyAssignment[] propertyAssignments) : base(partition, propertyAssignments)
{
}
}
public partial class CirculationBook
{
public CirculationBook(Partition partition, PropertyAssignment[] propertyAssignments) : base(partition, propertyAssignments)
{
}
}
}
