C#

To define C# as the target language in a template file :

#set( $env.language = 'C#' )

A "?" is automatically added to the end of the type if the attribute is "nullable" (no "@NotNull" annotation). To disable this behavior:

#set( $env.typeWithNullableMark = false )

The information below shows the behavior of the generator when C# is the current target language. For a detailed description of type conversion, see the generated documentation : https://www.telosys.org/doc/latest/languages/language-csharp.html

Types conversion

The table below describes how model neutral types are automatically converted to C# types with potential impact due to attribute annotations.

Model type
C# type
with annotation

string

string? string String?

@NotNull

@ObjectType

byte

sbyte? sbyte byte? SByte?

@NotNull

@UnsignedType @ObjectType

short

date

DateOnly? DateOnly

@NotNull

TimeOnly? TimeOnly

@NotNull

timestamp

DateTime? DateTime

@NotNull

binary

byte[]? byte [ ]

@NotNull

Remarks:

  • since ver 4.1.0 "date" is converted to "DateOnly" and "time" is converted to "TimeOnly"

Annotations effects

  • @UnsignedType has effect only for byte, short, int, long

  • @ObjectType switches to .Net types ( System.Int64, System.Boolean, etc)

  • @NotNull type not nullable => no "?" at the end of the type

  • @PrimitiveType no effect

Specific types

  • $attribute.fullType returns the C# System class full name for both "primitive type" and "object type" ( for example : System.String, System.Int16, System.Decimal )

  • $attribute.simpleType

    • for an "object type" returns the simple type name of the C# System class ( for example : String, Int16, Decimal )

    • for a "standard type" returns the usual type ( for example : string, int, uint, bool )

  • $attribute.wrapperType returns the C# System class associtated with the curren type

Literal values
