Class DerivedShapeMapping<TBase>

Namespace

Nerdbank.MessagePack

Assembly

Nerdbank.MessagePack.dll

Describes a mapping between a base type and its known sub-types, along with the aliases that identify them.

public class DerivedShapeMapping<TBase> : DerivedTypeMapping, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape>>, IEnumerable

Type Parameters

TBase

The base type or interface that all sub-types derive from or implement.

Inheritance

object

DerivedTypeMapping

DerivedShapeMapping<TBase>

Implements

IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape>>

IEnumerable

Derived

DerivedTypeMapping<TBase>

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.MemberwiseClone()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

object.ToString()

Remarks

This class requires a type shape or type shape provider to be provided for each sub-type explicitly. Use DerivedTypeMapping<TBase> for a more convenient API that allows you to add sub-types by their type alone.

Properties

BaseType

Gets the base union type.

public override Type BaseType { get; }

Property Value

Type

Count

Gets the number of subtypes described by the mapping.

public int Count { get; }

Property Value

int

Methods

Add(DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape)

Adds a type shape to a mapping using a specified identifier, ensuring that the type has not been previously added.

protected void Add(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias, ITypeShape typeShape)

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

Identifies the type shape being added to the mapping.

typeShape ITypeShape

Represents the structure and characteristics of the type being added.

Remarks

The caller should ensure that the shape's type is actually assignable to TBase.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when the type being added has already been included in the mapping.

Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier)

Adds a known sub-type to the mapping.

public void Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias) where TDerived : TBase, IShapeable<TDerived>

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

The alias for the sub-type.

Type Parameters

TDerived

The sub-type.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when alias or the Type described by typeShape have already been added to this mapping.

Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape<TDerived>)

Adds a known sub-type to the mapping.

public void Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias, ITypeShape<TDerived> typeShape) where TDerived : TBase

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

The alias for the sub-type.

typeShape ITypeShape<TDerived>

The shape of the sub-type.

Type Parameters

TDerived

The sub-type.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when alias or the Type described by typeShape have already been added to this mapping.

Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShapeProvider)

Adds a known sub-type to the mapping.

public void Add<TDerived>(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias, ITypeShapeProvider provider) where TDerived : TBase

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

The alias for the sub-type.

provider ITypeShapeProvider

The shape provider of T. This will typically be obtained by calling the ShapeProvider static property on a witness class (a class on which GenerateShapeAttribute<T> has been applied).

Type Parameters

TDerived

The sub-type.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when alias or TDerived has already been added to this mapping.

Add<TDerived, TProvider>(DerivedTypeIdentifier)

Adds a known sub-type to the mapping.

public void Add<TDerived, TProvider>(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias) where TDerived : TBase where TProvider : IShapeable<TDerived>

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

The alias for the sub-type.

Type Parameters

TDerived

The sub-type.

TProvider

The witness class that provides a type shape for TDerived.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when alias or the Type described by typeShape have already been added to this mapping.

Get(DerivedTypeIdentifier)

Gets the type shape for a given alias.

protected ITypeShape Get(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias)

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

The alias.

Returns

ITypeShape

The type shape.

Exceptions

KeyNotFoundException

Thrown if the alias is not recognized.

GetEnumerator()

Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection.

public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape>> GetEnumerator()

Returns

IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape>>

An enumerator that can be used to iterate through the collection.

Set(DerivedTypeIdentifier, ITypeShape)

Adds or re-sets the type shape in the mapping using a specified identifier.

protected void Set(DerivedTypeIdentifier alias, ITypeShape typeShape)

Parameters

alias DerivedTypeIdentifier

Identifies the type shape being added to the mapping.

typeShape ITypeShape

Represents the structure and characteristics of the type being added.

Remarks

The caller should ensure that the shape's type is actually assignable to TBase.
