	Equals	Determines whether the current persisted object equals the specified object. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetChild<T>()	Returns the child of the persisted object based on the specified type. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	GetChild<T>(String)	Returns the child object of the persisted object based on the specified name. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	GetCreateApplicationLink	Gets the administration user interface link that is used to create a new service application. (Inherited from SPService.)
	GetCreateApplicationOptions	Gets the options for creating a new service application. (Inherited from SPService.)
	GetFirstPreconfiguredDatabase	(Inherited from SPService.)

	GetPreconfiguredDatabaseInfo	(Inherited from SPService.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	HasAdditionalUpdateAccess	Override this method to allow more users to update the object. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Invalidate	Invalidates computed property values. (Inherited from SPPersistedUpgradableObject.)

	OnPostCreate	(Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	OnPreCreate	(Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Provision	Makes the changes to the local server that are needed before the object can be used. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	RunWithConcurrencyRetries	(Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	ToString	Returns the type and name of an object and of all its ancestors (parent, grandparent, and so on). (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Uncache	Frees the memory cache that is used by the object. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Unprovision	Makes the changes to the local server that are needed to clean up after deleting the object. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
	Update()	Causes the service to update its state and propagate the changes throughout the farm. (Overrides SPPersistedObject.Update().)
	Update(Boolean)	Causes the object to save its state and propagate changes to all the computers in the server farm, optionally throwing an exception if the object already exists in the configuration store. (Inherited from SPPersistedObject.)
