    Type type,
    object key
)

key Object

An object that is the persistent object’s key property value.

#Returns

Type Description

#Remarks

When implementing the IObjectSpace interface in the BaseObjectSpace class’s descendant, don’t implement the GetObjectByKey method. It’s implemented in the BaseObjectSpace class. The BaseObjectSpace.GetObjectByKey(Type type, object key) method returns null, but it is virtual. So, you should override it in your descendant.

To get the key property value, use the IObjectSpace.GetKeyValue method.

The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the GetObjectByKey(Type, Object) method.
