#Remarks

When implementing the IObjectSpace interface in the BaseObjectSpace class’s descendant, don’t implement the GetObjectKey method. It’s implemented in the BaseObjectSpace class. The BaseObjectSpace.GetObjectKey method returns null, but it is virtual. So, you should override it in your descendant.
