Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodCompareTo
Compares Identifiers of model objects.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodDelete
Deletes the load area instance with the given ID from the model database.
(Overrides ModelObjectDelete.)
Public methodEquals
Check if Identifiers of model objects are same.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodCode exampleGetAllReportProperties
Retrieves all properties for the model object in one hashtable. Type for the returned value must be checked using type casting.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetAllUserProperties
Retrieves all properties for the model object in one hashtable. Type for the returned value must be checked using type casting.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetChildren

(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetCoordinateSystem
Returns the coordinate system for the given model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetDoubleReportProperties

(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetReportProperty(String, Double)
Retrieves a double property of the report for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
Public methodGetReportProperty(String, Int32)
Retrieves an integer property of the report for the model object.
(Inherited from ModelObject.)
