Methods

CreateWritableClone()

Creates a writable copy of the current object.

Declaration
public Association CreateWritableClone()
Returns
Type Description
Association

A writable copy of the current object.

Remarks

The cloning is a deep-copy.

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.

ThrowIfReadOnly()

Calls EPiServer.Data.Validator.ValidateNotReadOnly(EPiServer.Data.Entity.IReadOnly) which throws an exception if the item is in read-only mode. Subtypes should call this before accepting any modification to the object.

Declaration
protected void ThrowIfReadOnly()

Implements

EPiServer.Data.Entity.IReadOnly<>
EPiServer.Data.Entity.IReadOnly
