Methods

	Method	Description
	cancelTimeOut	Cancels a previous method call to the setTimeOut method. (Inherited from Object.)
	equal	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current one. (Inherited from Object.)
	getTimeOutTimerHandle	Returns the timer handle for the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	handle	Retrieves the handle of the class of the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	new	Initializes a new instance of the AfDataContainerFactory class.
	notify	Releases the hold on an object that has called the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	notifyAll	Releases a lock on the object that was issued by the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	objectOnServer	Determines whether the object is on a server. (Inherited from Object.)
	owner	Returns the instance that owns the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	setTimeOut	Sets up the scheduled execution of a specified method. (Inherited from Object.)
	toString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

	wait	Pauses a process. (Inherited from Object.)
	xml	Returns an XML string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	::createArray	Constructs a new array.
	::createDataContainer	Creates a weakly-typed data container.
	::createDataContainerClassMap	Creates the data container class map.
	::createDataContainerList	Creates a weakly-typed data container list.
	::createStronglyTypedDataContainer	Creates a strongly-typed data container of the specified type.
	::createStronglyTypedDataContainerList	Creates a strongly-typed data container list of the specified type.
	::flushCache	Flushes the data container class cache.
	::getDataContainerClassMap	Gets the data container class map.
	::getStronglyTypedDataContainerClassId	Gets the class ID of the strongly-typed data container class for the specified data container type.

Remarks

All methods of this class are static and fall in one of two categories: weakly-typed constructors or strongly-typed constructors.

Weakly-typed constructors take a data container type as a parameter and return weakly-typed data containers and data container lists. The createDataContainer and the createDataContainerList methods are weakly-typed constructors.

Strongly-typed constructors do not take any parameters and return strongly-typed data containers. There is no support for strongly-typed data container lists currently. Each data container type that supports a strongly-typed interface has a separate constructor named that is named in the 'create<DataContainerType>DataContainer' format.
