The DOFInterface type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	DOFInterface	Construct a DOFInterface from its constituent parts.

Top

	Name	Description
	Equals	Returns true if the interfaces are equivalent, meaning that OAP cannot tell the difference between them. (Overrides ObjectEquals(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.)
	fixup	Assigns the interface reference for every item in the interface.
	getBytes	Get the serialized form of the interface as a byte[].
	getEvent	Get an Event given its identifier.
	getEvents	Get the Events of this interface.
	getException	Get an Exception given its identifier.
	getExceptions	Get the Exceptions of this interface.
	GetHashCode	Compute hash code. (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.)
	getInterfaceID	Get the interface ID.
	getMethod	Get a Method given its identifier.
	getMethods	Get the Methods of this interface.
	getProperties	Get the Properties of this interface.
	getProperty	Get a Property given its identifier.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	marshal	Marshal, or output a binary representation of this type, into the specified packet.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Get a string representation of this object. (Overrides ObjectToString.)

	Name	Description
	eventMap	The interface's events.
	exceptionMap	The interface's exceptions.
	interfaceID	The interface identifier.
	methodMap	The interface's methods.
	propertyMap	The interface's properties.

Top A DOFInterface defines a set of possible interactions with a DOFObject, which is typically remote (across the network). Conceptually it is similar to interfaces in object-oriented programming languages such as Java or C#. It is composed of a set of Properties, Methods, Events and Exceptions, each with their parameter and type information.

A DOFObject that provides (or implements) a DOFInterface is called a Provider.

Must be created with a Builder . This class is immutable once built.
