Remarks

A prototype is a compressed, serializable version of an element. A prototype is aware of what properties that element contains so that it can be deserialized into another 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.
