    Business Objects
    • Abbreviated as BO. BusinessObjects are the engineering things like
    Equipment, PipeRun, PipeFeature, ControlPoint and so on.
    • A .Net BusinessObject is also referred to as Wrapper, as it essentially
    wraps the Business Object and provides property/method access.
    • For people who know Smart 3D COM object model, incidentally, this also
    wraps the internal COM business object. The internal COM business
    Object is never available, nor needed for end user’s usage in Smart 3D
    .Net API.
    • Provides many useful methods and properties, including generic access to
    properties and relationships. (more on this in later session).
    • The Basic Business object (BusinessObject) is the base class of all Smart 3D
    Business objects in .Net API. It inherits from System.Object.
    • Each Smart 3D business object is wrapped by a .Net BusinessObject. There
    could be a specialized BO wrapper which offers more methods &
    functionality, like a PipeRun or a Equipment Instance or a Catalog Part.
    Wherever there is no Specialized BO Wrapper, the basic BusinessObject
    provides the wrapper.

    Business Objects
    • As you can see, most of the information needed about a Business object is
    available right at this level, and it serves such information for any kind of
    Smart 3D object. For example…
    – An object’s Object type, i.e. Class Information; Implemented Interfaces; Its BOC
    classification; AccessControl to current user; whether or not it supports an
    interface; its permission group; status; the connection to which it belongs;
    property access – Get/Set; its ID in the database; its Related objects; its User
    Class Information, its Notes etc.
    • Some more information is just one step away, for example, to get related
    objects given a relationship & Role names is just one step away… (we will
    learn about Relationships and Related objects in a later session)
    • For people who know Smart 3D COM object model, all this information was
    scattered over different interfaces – which was so to take benefit of the
    COM methodology of partitioning data & information on various interfaces.
    • It is a great advantage in Smart 3D .Net API to have easy access to all such
    important information. This greatly reduces the number of lines you have
    to write to perform common tasks like get/set properties, access relations,
    metadata, access control and many more.
