Syntax

'Declaration
Public Interface ILayer _
    Inherits ILayerContainer, ILayerElement

public interface ILayer : ILayerContainer, ILayerElement

public interface class ILayer : ILayerContainer, 
    ILayerElement

type ILayer =  
    interface
        interface ILayerContainer
        interface ILayerElement
    end

public interface ILayer extends ILayerContainer, ILayerElement

The ILayer type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ArtifactReferences	Get the artifact references.
	Comments	Get the comments that are contained in this element (not the comments that are linked to it). (Inherited from ILayerContainer.)
	Description	Get/set the description. (Inherited from ILayerElement.)
	Id	Gets the unique identifier of this element. (Inherited from ILayerElement.)
	IncomingDependencyLinks	Get the incoming dependency links.
	IsDeleted	Check whether this element has been deleted. (Inherited from ILayerElement.)
	Layers	Get the layers that are contained in this element. (Inherited from ILayerContainer.)
	Name	Get/set the unique name. (Inherited from ILayerElement.)
	OutgoingDependencyLinks	Get the outgoing dependency links.

	Properties	Gets a string dictionary that you can use to store arbitrary data with each ILayerElement. (Inherited from ILayerElement.)
