Syntax
public class StorableObject 
Public Properties
 NameDescription
Public PropertyReturns an array of objects cross-referenced with this object (i.e. having the same name - in case of functions - or otherwise associated)  
Public PropertyReturns the project as number. The number is unique for all open projects in one session. The number changes when the project is closed and opened again.  
Public Property

Determines if the the StorableObject is locked.

The StorableObject is locked when it was explicitly or implicitly locked.

 
Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is read-only  
Public Property

Determines if the the StorableObject is transient.

The StorableObject is transient when it was created by default constructor and:

it is a Page and it was not assigned a Project,

it is a Placement or any class derived from it and was not assigned a Page.

 
Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is correct database object and is not deleted.  
Public PropertyReturns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type.  
Public PropertyReturns the project the StorableObject belongs to.  
Public Property.NET Property enabling access to P8 properties of the StorableObject object.  
Public PropertyReturns the type of the object as number.

Public Methods
 NameDescription
Public MethodDestructor for deterministic finalization of StorableObject object.  
Public MethodOperator of comparison implementation. Checks if two StorableObjects refer to the same object in the project.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Returns this object created from the string identifier  
Public MethodServes as the default hash function.  
Public MethodReturns object type name.  
Public MethodTries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure.  
Public MethodTries to lock current object. If object is Placement - it's page will be locked as well; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.E3D.Placement3D locks it's installation space; Function locks all it's connections and connection definition points; Page locks all placements from this page. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure.  
Public MethodReturns this object as string identifier.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Returns this object created from the string identifier for the databaseid newDbId.
