The ProtoElementBase type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	ProtoElementBase(Guid)	Creates an instance of the ProtoElementBase class for a given domainClassId. This mode is used to determine whether the given DomainClassInfo type can be merged under any given model element.
	ProtoElementBase(ModelElement)	Creates an instance of the ProtoElementBase class.
	ProtoElementBase(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Creates an instance of the ProtoElementBase class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	DomainClassId	Get the Id of the domain class for this prototype element.
	ElementId	Get the Id of the prototype element.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetObjectData	Serializes object data into the SerializationInfo object.
	GetPropertyAssignments	Get the AttributeAssignements for the progenitor element's attributes
	GetPropertyValue	Gets the value of the specified domain property.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ReconstituteObject	Creates an element in the partition with the same attributes as the progenitor element
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

A prototype is a compressed, serializable version of an element. A prototype monitors what properties an element contains so that the prototype can be deserialized into another store. You can use a prototype to create an element in any store.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
