Methods

CreateWritableClone()

Declaration
public PropertyDefinitionType CreateWritableClone()
Returns
Type Description
PropertyDefinitionType

IsSystemType()

Determines whether this page definition type is a built in system type.

Declaration
public bool IsSystemType()
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if this page definition type is a built in system type; otherwise, false.

MakeReadOnly()

Changes the object instance into a read-only object.

Declaration
public void MakeReadOnly()
Remarks

After calling this method, any attempt to change the object instance or any contained object will generate a System.NotSupportedException. I.e. the semantics is "deep read-only".

Note! After setting an object to read-only it is not possible to revert back to read-write mode. You will have to call the CreateWritableClone method to get a copy that can be modified.

ResolvePropertyDataType(PropertyDataType)

Resolves the given PropertyDataType to a System.Type.

Declaration
public static Type ResolvePropertyDataType(PropertyDataType dataType)
Parameters
Type Name Description
PropertyDataType dataType

The data type to resolve into a Type.
Returns
Type Description
System.Type

A System.Type that matches the provided type.
Remarks

If the dataType is a Block a property with an untyped BlockData will be returned.

ThrowIfReadOnly()

Declaration
protected virtual void ThrowIfReadOnly()

Explicit Interface Implementations

IReadOnly.CreateWritableClone()

Creates a writable copy of the current object.

Declaration
object IReadOnly.CreateWritableClone()
Returns
Type Description
System.Object

A writable copy of the current object.
