Class Field<EntityT>

Abstract representation a property of an OData entity.

Fields are used as static properties of VDM entities or properties of ComplexTypeFields and are generated from the metadata, i.e. for each property of an OData entity, there exists one static instance of Field (or rather one of its subclasses) in the corresponding generated class file. Fields are used to represent the domain of values that can be used in select, filter and order by functions.
