GetPartialHashCode Method (FormDefinition)

Serves as a hash function for selected properties of this object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetPartialHashCode() As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FormDefinition
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.GetPartialHashCode()

public int GetPartialHashCode()

public:
int GetPartialHashCode();

Return Value

An integer that contains the hash code for the object. Two FormDefinition objects whose Fields, TemplateImages, or Operations properties are different will almost always have different hash codes.

Remarks

This method computes and returns a hash code for this object. Unlike the GetHashCode method, this method is not intended for use in a hash table or other similar data structure. Instead, you can use it to determine when some of the persistent properties of this object have changed. Specifically, this method examines the properties (Fields, TemplateImages, and Operations) that affect form and field processing.
