Syntax

public enum ObjectDependencyEnum

Members

	Member name	Value	Description
	Required	0	Required reference without a default value. For objects that do not make sense without having the reference set. If the referenced object is deleted, the system automatically deletes the entire object containing the reference. If the target object does not exist during import or staging, the operation is cancelled for the given object.
	RequiredHasDefault	1	If the referenced object is deleted or does not exist on the target instance during import or staging, the system automatically assigns a default object. To set the default object, override the GetDefaultObject() method in the code of the given Info class.
	NotRequired	2	Represents an optional reference. Use for objects that make sense without having the reference set. The reference column must support null values. If the referenced object is deleted or does not exist on the target instance during import or staging, the system sets a null value for the reference.
	Binding	3	Use for the reference fields of dedicated binding classes (classes that only represent relationships between other classes). Binding references are required. If the referenced object is deleted, the system automatically deletes the entire binding record. If the target object does not exist during import or staging, the operation is cancelled for the given binding record.

Remarks

Use for the value of the 'required' parameter when creating ObjectDependency or ExtraColumn objects within type information definitions.
