A ModelBusAdapter is an object that serves as a bridge between the ModelBus and the underlying model. ModelBusAdapter instances are created by ModelBusAdapterManager, and the operations a ModelBusAdapter exposes are defined by the ModelBusAdapter contract of the ModelBusAdapterManager.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Dispose()
	Dispose(Boolean)	Dispose this ModelBusAdapter instance. The base class does nothing. Derived ModelBusAdapter implementations can choose to do additional work, including persist unsaved data, free up resources, etc.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Equals(ModelBusAdapter)	True if this ModelBusAdapter is the same as the given ModelBusAdapter instance, false otherwise.
	Finalize	Destructor. (Overrides Object.Finalize.)
	GetDefaultView	Obtains the DefaultView associated with this Model, if one is available.
	GetElementReference	Get the reference of a given object instance supposed to be exposed by this adapter.
	GetElementReferences	Get back all referenced objects that conform to a given data contract.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetReferences
	GetReferenceStatus	Returns the ReferenceStatus for the current reference. If this is an element reference then tries ResolveElementReference.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetView	Gets a specific view associated with this Model based on the ModelBusView reference
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ResolveElementReference(ModelBusReference)	Given an identifier for an Element, returns the actual object represented by this reference.
	ResolveElementReference<T>(ModelBusReference)	Given an identifier for an Element, returns the actual object represented by this reference (strong typed helper method)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
