EqualsDetermines whether the specified object instances are considered equal.
The first object to compare.
The second object to compare.
true if the objects are considered equal; otherwise, false. If both objA and objB are null, the method returns true.
Gets the name of this property.
Gets the usage of the property.
Gets or sets the value of the property. A get request to this property will return the overridden value of a preference property. That is, if the user has overridden the value inherited from the user group, that inherited value is returned. Otherwise, the group value is returned. The same way, group values may override the values inherited from parent groups. If no value can be found, neither at the group level nor at the user level, a default value is returned. The default value is passed to the constructors of this class, either as a value or a Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceProperty.DefaultValueCalculatorCallback. If no default value exists, null is returned for reference types, and 0 is returned for value types.
Setting the property will only affect the user level value and override the inherited group value (if such exists).
After setting or resetting the value of a preference property, Save() must be called on the owning preference to cause the property to be persisted.
Use this method to report changes that may have occurred inside of an mutable property value. The Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceBase.Save must be used to persist the changes.
Resets any value that may explicitly have been given to this property on a user level basis through a call to Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceProperty.Value. The effect of resetting a property is that when the Value of it is queried, either the group value or the default value will be returned.
One or more preference properties constitute a preference implemented as a type extending Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceBase. Each preference property is identified by a name and the Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceBase.Category and Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.Preferences.PreferenceBase.SubCategory of the preference that it is contained in.
The value of a preference property is decided through inheritance, where user values always have precedence before group values, that is, a user can override that value of a property inherited from a group. The same way, a group can override the value of a parent group. In addition, the preference property may have a default values which is returned when neither parent group(s) nor the user has defined a value for the property.
Each property is also associated with a version number. This version number must always be increased if the property is changed from the prior version such that the new version cannot be interpreted by older version through the default behavior of the .Net serialization framework. For instance, if the type T is changed from System.String to System.Int32, the version number should be increased. The version number should also be increased if properties are added to or removed from T.
