Syntax
public class MetaObject : ISerializable, IXmlSerializable
Remarks

Though the object is marked as serializable, the custom serialization handlers do not properly save all data. Only the meta class, object state, and field storage are saved. Any use of a meta object that has gone through the custom serialization is likely to cause issues.

Property Value
Type Description
EPiServer.ServiceLocation.Injected<IConnectionStringHandler>

Created

The date and time this meta object was created.

Declaration
public virtual DateTime Created { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.DateTime
Remarks

The value should be stored in UTC.

CreatorId

A key to the user who created this meta object.

Id

The unique identifier of the meta object.

Declaration
public int Id { get; protected set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int32
Remarks

Identifiers less than or equal to zero are considered placeholders. If such an identifier is assigned, the object state will be automatically set to Added.

Item[MetaField]

Indexes user meta field values by MetaField.

Declaration
[Obsolete("This does not validate the value or update the meta object state on sets. Use the field name indexer for all gets, and use SetMetaField(field.Name, value, false) to explicitly specify that the value should not be checked and the state should not be updated. Will remain at least until November 2016.")]
public virtual object this[MetaField field] { get; set; }
Parameters
Type Name Description
MetaField field
Property Value
Type Description
System.Object
Remarks

NOTE: Indexing the meta object by the MetaField instance will NOT validate the value and set the object state to modified. If this is desired, use the indexer for strings with field.Name. This is only to maintain the same behavior as previous versions, and should not be interpreted as a feature.

Item[String]

Indexes user meta field values by name.

Declaration
public virtual object this[string fieldName] { get; set; }
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String fieldName
Property Value
Type Description
System.Object
Remarks

NOTE: Indexing the meta object by the meta field name instance will validate the value and set the object state to modified. If this is desired, use the indexer for MetaFields with a proper MetaField instance. This is only to maintain the same behavior as previous versions, and should not be interpreted as a feature.

ItemArray

Declaration
[Obsolete("ItemArray depends on a stable ordering of the items in the MetaClass.MetaFields collection, which does not have a stable ordering. Avoid using this. Will remain at least until November 2016.")]

Methods

AcceptChanges(MetaDataContext)

Commits in memory changes to the database.

Declaration
public virtual void AcceptChanges(MetaDataContext context)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MetaDataContext context

The meta data context.

Remarks

The meta object already has a meta data context nested into MetaClass.Context. While the multi-language values in this object will be for language MetaClass.Context.Language, all saves through AcceptChanges will use the supplied context, possible saving fields to a different langauge than they were loaded from. While this is known behavior, it is not necessarily a feature.

ChangeState()

Sets the object to a modified state.

Declaration
protected void ChangeState()

Clone(MetaObject)

Clones the specified meta object, copies its field storage object.

Declaration
public static MetaObject Clone(MetaObject metaObject)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MetaObject metaObject

The meta object to clone.

Returns
Type Description
MetaObject

The cloned meta object, or null if the metaObject is null.

CloneMetaFieldReferenceTypes(Hashtable, Hashtable)

Creates deep clones of any reference types in the hashtable: MetaDictionaryItem, System.Array of MetaDictionaryItem, MetaFile, MetaStringDictionary and MetaObject.

Declaration
protected void CloneMetaFieldReferenceTypes(Hashtable original, Hashtable clone)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Collections.Hashtable original

The original.

System.Collections.Hashtable clone

The clone.

DeepCloneImplementation()

Implements deep cloning. This base implementation handles shallow cloning of members as well as deep cloning of the meta fields accessed through the default indexer. Subclasses that define additional reference members need to override this method and implement deep cloning for those members.

Declaration
protected virtual object DeepCloneImplementation()
Returns
Type Description
System.Object

A new object that is a deep copy of the current instance.

Delete()

Marks this meta object for deletion.

Declaration
public virtual void Delete()
Remarks

The actual delete is not performed until AcceptChanges is called. Static delete methods call overrides of this method.
