Remarks
ModelFactory is designed to be a static API for convenience. The underlying implementation of this API simply calls the CreateItem method of ModelService.
Always use the CreateItem method to create new objects on the design surface. This is because many raw instances cannot be parsed into model items. Once a value is set in the model, you should only interact with it through the model. The instance backing the model can be rebuilt by the framework at any time, which invalidates any references you have cached.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
