When implementing the IObjectSpace interface in the BaseObjectSpace class’s descendant, you don’t have to implement the IsObjectFitForCriteria method. It’s implemented by the BaseObjectSpace class. In this method, the expression evaluator provided by the BaseObjectSpace.GetExpressionEvaluator method is used to check whether the specified object fits for the specified criteria. The type passed as the objectType parameter must be assignable from the type of the object passed as the obj parameter.
