public sealed class Source : DOFObjectID

The DOFObjectIDSource type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	CompareTo	Compare against another DOFObjectID. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	create(Byte)	Create a DOFObjectID.Source from a byte[] of data.
	create(String)	Construct a DOFObjectID.Source using the standard format.
	create(DOFObjectID)	Create an DOFObjectID.Source from a DOFObjectID.
	create(Byte, Int32)	Create a DOFObjectID.Source from a byte[] of data at an offset.
	create(Int32, Byte)	Create an DOFObjectID.Source given its class and byte data.
	create(DOFMarshalContext, Object, DOFPacket)	Create a DOFObjectID.Source from serial form.
	Equals	(Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	equalsIgnoreAttributes	Compare against another DOFObjectID. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getAttribute	Get the specified attribute. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getAttributes	Get this identifier's list of attributes. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getBase	Get this object identifier without any attributes. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getBytes	Get the binary form of this DOFObjectID. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getData	Get the data associated with the base ID (the ID without attributes). (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getDataString	Return a string format of the base (the ID without attributes) data of the object identifier. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getDOFType	(Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	getIDClass	Get the class of this DOFObjectID. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	hasAttribute	Check if this DOFObjectID has a specific attribute type. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	hasAttributes	Check if this DOFObjectID has any attributes. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	isBroadcast	Determine if this DOFObjectID is the broadcast oid without attributes. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	isCompatibleWith	(Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	isMulticast	Determine if this DOFObjectID is a multicast oid (broadcast with the Group attribute). (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	isUnicast	Determine if this DOFObjectID is unicast, meaning it doesn't use CLASS_BROADCAST. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	marshal	(Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	matchesAtLeast	Compare against another DOFObjectID. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	toStandardString	Get the identifier in a standardized string format. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)
	ToString	Get the identifier in a standardized string format. (Inherited from DOFObjectID.)

	Name	Description
	TYPE	This is the default type for all Source values.

Source identifiers must be globally unique. DOFs ignore operations with their own source identifiers (because they assume they initiated those operations themselves), so two DOFs created with the same source identifier cannot communicate, other network nodes cannot differentiate between their operations, and the potential exists that they will create multiple operations that have duplicate identifiers.
