Return Value

Boolean
true if type T supports a parameterless constructor and was successfully initialized; otherwise, false.

Remarks

As long as type T defines a parameterless constructor, this method will create an instance of the modeled class so that any defined static functionality will be initialized. Calling this method in advance of any of the static create or update delegate generation functions will allow modeled types to self-register any custom symbols and types that may be used during evaluation of value expressions attributes, e.g.:

Copy

static MyModel()
{
    TableOperations<MyModel>.TypeRegistry.RegisterType<MyType>();
}
