Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method IEnumerable.GetEnumerator Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection of clock vector elements.
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method IXmlSerializable.GetSchema Returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method IXmlSerializable.ReadXml Reconstitutes the object from its XML representation.
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method IXmlSerializable.WriteXml Converts this object into its XML representation.

Remarks

A clock vector defines the changes that are contained in a knowledge structure by using a list of ClockVectorElement objects. A ClockVectorElement object exists for each replica that has made a change that is contained in the knowledge. A change made by a particular replica is defined to be contained in the knowledge if the tick count for the change occurs between 0 and the tick count contained in ClockVectorElement that tracks that replica.

The members of IXmlSerializable and IEnumerable are implemented explicitly. Code that accesses them must first cast the ClockVector object to the IXmlSerializable or IEnumerable interface by using the casting operator or the as keyword.

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.
