Oracle® Coherence .NET API Reference Release 3.7.1
E22844-03

Report that a sparse array of values has been encountered in the POF stream.

Namespace:  Tangosol.IO.Pof
Assembly:  Coherence (in Coherence.dll) Version: 3.7.1.23 (3.7.1.23)

Syntax

C#
public virtual void BeginSparseArray(
	int position,
	int elementCount
)

Parameters

position
Type: System..::.Int32
Context-sensitive position information: property position within a user type, array position within an array, element counter within a collection, entry counter within a map, -1 otherwise.
elementCount
Type: System..::.Int32
The exact number of elements in the array, which is greater than or equal to the number of values in the sparse POF stream; in other words, the number of values that will subsequently be reported will not exceed this number.

Implements

IPofHandler..::.BeginSparseArray(Int32, Int32)

Remarks

This method call will be followed by a separate call to an "on" or "begin" method for present element in the sparse array (up to elementCount elements), and the array extent will then be terminated by a call to EndComplexValue()()().
