3.18.1 Abstract Data Model

  • Article

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

An IStringCollection server maintains the following data elements:

  • ReadOnly: A VARIANT_BOOL that indicates whether the collection is read-only. Once initialized, this data element cannot be modified.

  • List: An ordered list of strings. If the collection is read-only, this data element cannot be changed after initialization. If the collection is read-write, this data element can be modified.

  • Count: An integer count of the number of elements in the list of strings. If the collection is read-only, this data element cannot be changed after initialization. If the collection is read-write, this data element can be modified.
