IObjectSpaceProvider Interface

Declares members implemented by Object Space Providers used by XAF to instantiate Object Spaces.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

public interface IObjectSpaceProvider

Remarks

XAF uses an Object Space Provider to create Object Spaces. The following Object Space Provider types are included in XAF:

Object Space Provider Object Space Application Builder Method
EFCoreObjectSpaceProvider<TDbContext> EFCoreObjectSpace AddEFCore
XPObjectSpaceProvider XPObjectSpace AddXpo
SecuredEFCoreObjectSpaceProvider<TDbContext> SecuredEFCoreObjectSpace AddSecuredEFCore
SecuredObjectSpaceProvider SecuredXPObjectSpace AddSecuredXpo
NonPersistentObjectSpaceProvider NonPersistentObjectSpace AddNonPersistent

XAF applications configure Object Space Providers through the Application Builder’s ObjectSpaceProviders properties: IBlazorApplicationBuilder.ObjectSpaceProviders and IWinApplicationBuilder.ObjectSpaceProviders. When you create an application with the Template Kit, it registers Object Space Providers for the selected preset.

Refer to the following topic for instructions on how to add custom Object Space Providers to your application: Custom Object Space Provider.

Note

When multiple Object Space Providers are registered in the application, the ModuleUpdater.UpdateDatabaseAfterUpdateSchema method is executed multiple times, once for each registered Provider. In this method, before accessing an object of a particular type, check if the current Object Space supports this type using the IObjectSpace.CanInstantiate method.
