Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetObjectData Serializes object data into the SerializationInfo object. (Overrides ProtoElementBase.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext).)
Public method GetPropertyValue Gets the value of the specified domain property. (Inherited from ProtoElementBase.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ReconstituteObject Creates an element in the partition with the same attributes as the progenitor element (Overrides ProtoElementBase.ReconstituteObject(Dictionary<Guid, Guid>, Partition).)

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.
