mscorlib The Object is the root class for all object in the CLR System. Object is the super class for all other CLR objects and provide a set of methods and low level services to subclasses. These services include object synchronization and support for clone operations. @see System.ICloneable Defines an interface indicating that an object may be cloned. Only objects that implement ICloneable may be cloned. The interface defines a single method which is called to create a clone of the object. Object defines a method MemberwiseClone to support default clone operations. @see System.Object Make a new object which is a copy of the object instanced. This object may be either deep copy or a shallow copy depending on the implementation of clone. The default Object support for clone does a shallow copy. @return A new object that represents a clone of the object. An IList is an ordered collection of objects. The exact ordering is up to the implementation of the list, ranging from a sorted order to insertion order. Base interface for all collections, defining enumerators, size, and synchronization methods. Implement this interface if you need to support VB's foreach semantics. Also, COM classes that support an enumerator will also implement this interface. Returns an IEnumerator for this enumerable Object. The enumerator provides a simple way to access all the contents of a collection. CopyTo copies a collection into an Array, starting at a particular index into the array. @param array array to copy collection into @param index Index into array. @exception ArgumentNullException if array is null. Number of items in the collections. Adds an item to the list. The exact position in the list is implementation-dependent, so while ArrayList may always insert in the last available location, a SortedList most likely would not. The return value is the position the new element was inserted in. Returns whether the list contains a particular item. Removes all items from the list. Returns the index of a particular item, if it is in the list. Returns -1 if the item isn't in the list. Inserts value into the list at position index. index must be non-negative and less than or equal to the number of elements in the list. If index equals the number of items in the list, then value is appended to the end. Removes an item from the list. Removes the item at position index. The Item property provides methods to read and edit entries in the List. Base interface for all enumerators, providing a simple approach to iterating over a collection. Advances the enumerator to the next element of the enumeration and returns a boolean indicating whether an element is available. Upon creation, an enumerator is conceptually positioned before the first element of the enumeration, and the first call to MoveNext brings the first element of the enumeration into view. @return true if the enumerator was succesfully advanced to the next element, false if the enumeration has been completed. @exception InvalidOperationException Thrown if the underlying set of objects has been modified since this enumerator was created. Resets the enumerator to the beginning of the enumeration, starting over. The preferred behavior for Reset is to return the exact same enumeration. This means if you modify the underlying collection then call Reset, your IEnumerator will be invalid, just as it would have been if you had called MoveNext or Current. @exception InvalidOperationException Thrown if the underlying set of objects has been modified since this enumerator was created. Returns the current element of the enumeration. The returned value is undefined before the first call to MoveNext and following a call to MoveNext that returned false. Multiple calls to GetCurrent with no intervening calls to MoveNext will return the same object. @return The current element of the enumeration. @exception InvalidOperationException Thrown if the underlying set of objects has been modified since this enumerator was created, or if the Enumerator is positioned before or after the valid range. Enum used to indicate all the elements of the VOS it is valid to attach this element to. A place holder class for boolean. @author Jay Roxe (jroxe) @version A place holder class for signed bytes. @author Jay Roxe (jroxe) @version The maximum value that a Byte may represent: 127. The minimum value that a Byte may represent: -128. The maximum character value. The minimum character value. Custom attribute to indicate that a specified object should be hidden from the editor. (i.e Intellisence filtering) Our origin is at 1601/01/01:00:00:00.000 While desktop CLR's origin is at 0001/01/01:00:00:00.000.

The IComparable interface is implemented by classes that support an ordering of instances of the class. The ordering represented by IComparable can be used to sort arrays and collections of objects that implement the interface. @see System.Array#Sort @see System.Array#BinarySearch @see System.List#Sort @see System.List#BinarySearch @see System.SortedList This attribute is attached to members that are not to be used any longer. Message is some human readable explanation of what to use Error indicates if the compiler should treat usage of such a method as an error. (this would be used if the actual implementation of the obsolete method's implementation had changed). Issue: do we need to be able to localize this message string?

This class represents a starting/ending time for a period of daylight saving time. The start date of a daylight saving period. The end date of a daylight saving period. Delta to stardard offset in ticks. The Member type Field. This Enum matchs the CorMethodImpl defined in CorHdr.h This Enum matchs the CorTypeAttr defined in CorHdr.h This Enum matchs the miImpl flags defined in corhdr.h. It is used to specify certain method properties. Custom attribute to specify additional method properties. GetObjectValue is intended to allow value classes to be manipulated as 'Object' but have aliasing behavior of a value class. The intent is that you would use this function just before an assignment to a variable of type 'Object'. If the value being assigned is a mutable value class, then a shallow copy is returned (because value classes have copy semantics), but otherwise the object itself is returned. Note: VB calls this method when they're about to assign to an Object or pass it as a parameter. The goal is to make sure that boxed value types work identical to unboxed value types - ie, they get cloned when you pass them around, and are always passed by value. Of course, reference types are not cloned. -- BrianGru 7/12/2001 @param obj The object that is about to be assigned. @return a shallow copy of 'obj' if it is a value class, 'obj' itself otherwise RunClassConstructor causes the class constructor for the given type to be triggered in the current domain. After this call returns, the class constructor is guaranteed to have at least been started by some thread. In the absence of class constructor deadlock conditions, the call is further guaranteed to have completed. This call will generate an exception if the specified class constructor threw an exception when it ran. Use this in P/Direct function prototypes to specify which character set to use when marshalling Strings. Using Ansi will marshal the strings as 1 byte char*'s. Using Unicode will marshal the strings as 2 byte wchar*'s. Generally you probably want to use Auto, which does the right thing 99% of the time. Used in the StructLayoutAttribute class A constant used by methods that take a timeout (Object.Wait, Thread.Sleep etc) to indicate that no timeout should occur. this should become an enum.
