Object Model

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
<DataContractAttribute()>
Public MustInherit Class ComplexObject 
   Implements IComplexObject, IComplexObjectSvcs, IdeaBlade.Validation.INotifyVerifierResults, System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo, System.ComponentModel.INotifyDataErrorInfo

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ComplexObject

[DataContract()]
public abstract class ComplexObject : IComplexObject, IComplexObjectSvcs, IdeaBlade.Validation.INotifyVerifierResults, System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo, System.ComponentModel.INotifyDataErrorInfo

Remarks

ComplexObjects are effectively lightweight entities with no primary key (i.e. no independent identity) that are hosted as properties of an IEntity or nested within another ComplexObject. They are analogous to the System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.ComplexObject used within the Microsoft Entity Framework. When you define a complex type within your conceptual model, the DevForce Object Mapper generates a sub-classed ComplexObject in the auto-generated domain model for it.
