Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property.

item Returns the specified property from the collection using an index into the collection.
itemById Returns the specified property from the collection using the unique ID of the property.
itemByName Returns the specified Property using the name of the property.

Properties

count Returns the number of properties within the collection.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.
