Properties

	Name	Description
	AdapterReference	Returns the adapter reference contained in the model bus reference, or null if the adapter manager required to deserialize the adapter reference is not registered with the modelbus, or if this model bus reference does not have a ModelBus.
	ElementDisplayName	User-friendly model display name
	IsAdapterReferenceResolved	Returns whether the adapter reference has been deserialized or not.
	LastStatus	The last know reference status. The reference status is unknown until we tried to create an adpapter for the reference - in case of success the state will be valid, other wise invalid
	LogicalAdapterId	Logical Adapter Id of the ModelBusAdapter that enables access to the model, element or view referenced by this ModelBus Reference.
	ModelBus
	ModelDisplayName	User-friendly model display name
	ReferenceContext	ReferenceContext object for this reference
	SerializedAdapterReference	Serialized form of the adapter reference

Methods

	Name	Description
	Deserialize(String, ReferenceContext)	Deserializes the serializedReference and returns a new instance of ModelBusReference
	Deserialize(String, IModelBus, ReferenceContext)	Deserializes the serializedReference and returns a new instance of ModelBusReference
	Equals(Object)	Compares this reference to another object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Equals(ModelBusReference)	Overrides equality for ModelBusReferences
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Gets the hash code of this reference instance. If two instances compare equal, they should give the same hash code. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Serialize	Returns the supplied reference serialized as a string
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality	Compares two ModelBusReference instances for equality.
	Inequality	Compares two ModelBusReferences instances for inequality.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	GetDisplayName	Extension method that returns the calculated display name (Defined by ModelBusReferenceExtensionMethods.)
	IsValidModelReference	Extension method that returns whether the model-part of the reference is valid (Defined by ModelBusReferenceExtensionMethods.)
	IsValidReference	Extension method that returns whether the whole reference is valid (Defined by ModelBusReferenceExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

The exact interpretation of a ModelBusReference depends on the derived class of ModelBusAdapter that you use to wrap the model.

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.
