Syntax

public abstract class DnsObject : IWireSerialiser, ICloneable

Remarks

Provides helper methods for IWireSerialiser, cloning and caching.

Properties

CreationTime

When the object was created.

Declaration

public DateTime CreationTime { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
DateTime	Local time.

Remarks

Cloning does not alter the value.

Methods

Clone()

Makes a deep copy of the object.

Declaration

public virtual object Clone()

Returns

Type	Description
Object	A deep copy of the dns object.

Remarks

Uses serialisation to make a copy.

Clone<T>()

Makes a deep copy of the object.

Declaration

public T Clone<T>()
    where T : DnsObject

Returns

Type	Description
T	A deep copy of the dns object.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Some type derived from DnsObject.

Remarks

Use serialisation to make a copy.

Length()

Length in bytes of the object when serialised.

Declaration

public int Length()

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	Numbers of bytes when serialised.

Read(WireReader)

Reads the DNS object that is encoded in the wire format.

Declaration

public abstract IWireSerialiser Read(WireReader reader)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
WireReader	reader	The source of the DNS object.

Returns

Type	Description
IWireSerialiser	The final DNS object.

Remarks

Reading a ResourceRecord will return a new instance that is type specific unless the GetDataLength() is zero.

Read(Byte[])

Stream	stream	The source for the DNS object.

Returns

Type	Description
IWireSerialiser

ToByteArray()

Writes the DNS object to a byte array.

Declaration

public byte[] ToByteArray()

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	A byte array containing the binary representaton of the DNS object.

Write(WireWriter)
