Methods

GetSchema()

This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class.

public abstract XmlSchema GetSchema()

Returns

XmlSchema

An that describes the XML representation of the object that is produced by the method and consumed by the method.

HasReplaceableEntity(IObjectBase)

Gets a value indicating whether this instance has replacable entity.

public virtual bool HasReplaceableEntity(IObjectBase oldObject)

Parameters

oldObject IObjectBase

The old object

Returns

bool

if this instance has replacable entity, the result is true.

IsParametric(enRefType)

Gets parametric.

public virtual bool IsParametric(Primitive.enRefType type)

Parameters

type Primitive.enRefType

Point picking type.

Returns

bool

If set to true is parametric; otherwise, false is none parametric.

IsParametric(string)

Gets parametric.

public static bool IsParametric(string strType)

Parameters

strType string

Point picking type.

Returns

bool

If set to true is parametric; otherwise, false is none parametric.

ReadXml(XmlReader)

Generates an object from its XML representation.

public abstract void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)

Parameters

reader XmlReader

The XmlReader stream from which the object is deserialized.

ReplaceEntity(IObjectBase, IObjectBase)

Replace Entity

public virtual bool ReplaceEntity(IObjectBase oldObject, IObjectBase newObject)

Parameters

oldObject IObjectBase

The old object

newObject IObjectBase

The new object

Returns

bool

if success, the result is true.

WriteXml(XmlWriter)

Converts an object into its XML representation.

public abstract void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)

Parameters

writer XmlWriter

The XmlWriter stream to which the object is serialized.
