Initializes the class with the collection that the object is contained within.

Initializes the database and collection class that the object is contained within.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Indicates that the first the object in collection should be loaded. After this call the Object property will return this first object. Specifically, this function calls Database.ObjectByOrdinalFirst().

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Sets or returns the distinct value of the object. If Object returns Nothing then Nothing is returned. Simulates using Me.Object.DistinctValue except that loading of the associated object is avoided if the Me.Object get property had not been called and the object loaded from the database. If the ObjectReference class is used with the FieldMapping attribute then this property is set and read automatically when respectively loading and saving the object. See Example 1 below for details.

Sets or returns the referenced object. When reading the value, if the object has not already been loaded then the object is loaded. On subsequent calls the already loaded object is returned.

Returns whether the Object property would return Nothing. This property can be used rather than calling Me.Object Is Nothing as it avoids unnecessarily loading the associated object if the object had not been loaded from the database.
