BaseObjectSpace.FindObjectSpaceByObject(Object) Method

Returns the Object Space used to load and save a specified persistent object. This method is for internal use.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v20.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public static IObjectSpace FindObjectSpaceByObject(
    object obj
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function FindObjectSpaceByObject(
    obj As Object
) As IObjectSpace

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
obj	Object	The object whose Object Space this method returns.

Returns

Type	Description
IObjectSpace	An Object Space used to load and save the specified persistent object. null (Nothing in VB.NET) if the specified object does not belong to any Object Space.

Remarks

This method is for internal use. It can access certain Object Spaces XAF uses internally (for example, the Object Space used by the Security System). Do not use such Object Spaces in your applications because this may cause unexpected behavior. Instead of this, implement the approaches below.

• To access an object’s Object Space within class code, implement the IObjectSpaceLink interface in this class (in EF and non-persistent objects) or use the object’s Session (in XPO persistent objects).
• In other scenarios, create a new Object Space and use the GetObject(Object) method to retrieve an object in the current Object Space.
