DescribedIsOfClass
|
Returns whether a class description describes the class or subclass identified by a given class name or GUID string (true ) or not (false ). Class descriptions are fetched from the server and added to the metadata cache as needed. |
|
GetClassDescription
|
Overloaded. Returns the class description for a given object. If the class description is not already resident, this method fetches it from the server and adds it to the metadata cache. |
|
GetClassDescriptions
|
Returns zero or more class descriptions for a given scope and the classes specified by a class identities array, which can contain both class names and GUID strings. Class descriptions not already resident are fetched from the server and added to the metadata cache. If a failure occurs while fetching a class description, the entire operation will fail. The returned array is the same size and in the same order as the class identities array; it is never null and its members are always valid class descriptions. Potentially, this operation is much more efficient than retrieving individual class descriptions because any non-resident class descriptions are fetched from the server in a single batch operation. |
|
ObjectIsOfClass
|
Returns whether an object is instantiated from a class or subclass identified by a given class name or GUID string (true ) or not (false ). Class descriptions are fetched from the server and added to the metadata cache as needed. |
