public abstract class DOFAddress : DOFImmutable

The DOFAddress type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	DOFAddress	Initializes a new instance of the DOFAddress class

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	getAddress	Get the opaque transport-specific address information.
	getAddressType	Get the transport type for the specific address information.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	getTransport
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

In many cases the specific address is not important, rather the DOFConnection is used to communicate with a specific node identified by a DOFAddress. The Config contains information about the DOFAddress that the connection refers to.

DOFAddress is opaque. In order to gain access to the encapsulated information, you must use the transport that defines the address. This is also required to convert a DOFAddress from one transport to another.

To create a DOFAddress, call the specific implementation. For example, in order to create an Inet DOFAddress, call org.opendof.core.transport.inet.InetTransport.createAddress.

NOTE: Classes that extend DOFAddress must implement object.GetHashCode() and object.Equals(object) .
