Where can I find definitions of the GetSourceSchemaTypes routine?

Question

I'm digging deeper into Entity Framework Templating and want to find out more about the GetSourceSchemaTypes routine, used here as an example

foreach (EntityType entity in GetSourceSchemaTypes<EntityType>().OrderBy(e => e.Name))
{
}

It appears to be part of the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating namespace but I can't find that on MSDN.

I'm looking for something specific but the answer may be revealed in the definition of this routine.

thanks

Answer 1

GetSourceSchemaTypes ( Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating namespace) can be found in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating assembly (Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.dll) delivered with the Visual Studio SDK

You can use a .NET decompiler to have a look at the code.

ILSpy is free and works fine: http://ilspy.net/

If you have any difficulty to locate the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating assembly, you can have a look at this question: Cannot find Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating assembly :)

For example, if you use Visual Studio 2012 the assembly may be here:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\VSSDK\\VisualStudioIntegration\\Common\\Assemblies\\v4.0

PS: I don't understand why this answer is downvoted, there is nothing wrong with decompiling.. It's a nice tool to improve understanding of something..
