Serializes the current instance of the List class.
public:
cli::array <System::Object ^> ^ pack();public object[] pack ();member this.pack : unit -> obj[]Public Function pack () As Object()Returns
A container that contains the current instance of the List class.
Remarks
The container created by this method contains 3 elements before the first element from the list:
- A version number for the container
- An integer that identifies the data type of the list elements
- The number of elements in the list
If the elements in the list are objects, packing is performed by calling the pack method successively on each object to yield a subcontainer. The list can be retrieved from the packed container by using the List.create method.
The following example creates a list of records and passes in the packed list as a parameter for creating a new projReverseMarking object.
public boolean canClose()
{
ProjReverseMarking projReverseMarking;
boolean canClose;
List list;
canClose = super();
if (element.closedOk() && canClose)
{
List = new List(Types::Record);
while select tmpFrmVirtualLines
{
list.addEnd(tmpFrmVirtualLines);
}
projReverseMarking = new ProjReverseMarking(list.pack());
projReverseMarking.run();
}
return canClose;
}
