DefineAndGenerateSharedObject Method

In This Topic

If the given object is not already known to be a shared object, define it and generate it, so that you can use simple ID references to the shared object both during generation and during consumption.

Syntax

public virtual void DefineAndGenerateSharedObject( 
   object obj
)

Parameters

obj: an Object; if null this method does nothing

Remarks

This convenience method can be called from an override of GenerateDefinitions when there are auxiliary objects that can be shared by the primary Objects but are not in that collection of Objects. If InvokeSkipGeneration returns true, or if the is already shared, no element is generated. This method is implemented as:

if (obj == null) return; Type t = obj.GetType(); if (InvokeSkipGeneration(t, obj)) return; String id = FindShared(obj); if (id == null) { MakeShared(obj); DefineObject(obj); GenerateObject(obj); }
