MakeReadOnly()

Makes the instance read only.

Declaration

public override void MakeReadOnly()

ParseToObject(String)

Parses the string representation of the colleciton into a new instance of this class.

Declaration

[Obsolete("ParseToObject is no longer required. The same functionality can be achieved by creating a new instance and calling the ParseToSelf method. Will remain at least until December 2018")]
public override PropertyData ParseToObject(string str)
