Dependent class | QSYS API Reference Guide
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
The Dependent class represents a dependency in the ASNA DataGate environment.
Namespace: ASNA.DataGate.Client Assembly: ASNA.QSys.DataGate.Client.dll
Inheritance: Object
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
This class implements the IEquatable<Dependent> interface, allowing instances of Dependent to be compared for equality based on their properties. /// A Dependent instance represents a specific ASNA DataGate object (such as a file or a data area) that a program depends on.
Each Dependent has an AdgObjectType indicating the type of the ASNA DataGate object it represents, a DependentType indicating the type of the dependency, and a PathName representing the path name of the ASNA DataGate object.
Properties
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AdgObjectTypes | AdgObjectType | Gets the type of the ASNA DataGate object that this dependent represents. |
| DependentTypes | DependentType | Gets the type of the dependency that this instance represents. |
| String | PathName | Gets the path name of the ASNA DataGate object that this dependent represents. |
Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
| Equals(Dependent) | Determines whether the specified is equal to the current . |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current . |
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. |
| ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object. |
bool Equals(Dependent other)
Determines whether the specified is equal to the current .
Remarks
This method checks if the provided is not null and if its , , and properties are equal to those of the current instance.The comparison of is case-insensitive.
bool Equals(Dependent other)
Parameters
| Type | Parameter name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dependent | other | The to compare with the current . |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | true if the specified is equal to the current ; otherwise, false. |
bool Equals(object obj)
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current .
Remarks
This method overrides the method.It casts the provided object to a and calls the method to perform the comparison.If the cast is unsuccessful (i.e., if the object is not a ), the method returns false.
bool Equals(object obj)
Parameters
| Type | Parameter name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Object | obj | The object to compare with the current . |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | true if the specified object is a and is equal to the current ; otherwise, false. |
int GetHashCode()
Serves as the default hash function.
Remarks
This method overrides the method.It calculates the hash code for the current instance based on the , , and properties.The hash code for is calculated using a case-insensitive method.This hash code will be used when the instance is used in a hash-based collection, like a hash set or a dictionary.
int GetHashCode()
string ToString()
Returns a string that represents the current object.
Remarks
This method overrides the method and returns the property of the current instance.This provides a string representation of the dependent that is the path name of the ASNA DataGate object it represents.
