Class ObjectCreationFact

Namespace

RDCore.SDK.Semantics

Assembly

RDCore.SDK.dll

The class of the object a CreateObject call creates, when the programmatic identifier it is given is written as a constant: what the object is known to be, beyond the Object its declared type says.

public sealed record ObjectCreationFact : IEquatable<ObjectCreationFact>

Inheritance

object

ObjectCreationFact

Implements

IEquatable<ObjectCreationFact>

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

object.ToString()

Remarks

A fact for tooling - what a completion list offers after the object, what an analyzer says of the call - and for nothing else. It is never a declaration: the object is late-bound, its members are found when they are called (MS-VBAL §6.1.2.8.1.4), and nothing that is or is not true of the class described here is a compile error or changes what the program does.

A class is found by the identifier its library describes it with (Runtime.Libraries.ClassDescription.ProgId), in the library the identifier's first part names, without regard to case. An identifier that names no version (DAO.DBEngine) is the class whose identifier is the same with one (DAO.DBEngine.120): which version a machine has is its own to say, and the class is the same one. 🚧 TODO A library whose name is not the first part of the identifiers of its classes (VBScript_RegExp_55, for VBScript.RegExp) is not found.
