Properties
AsGDIDSymbol
Declaration
public GDIDSymbol AsGDIDSymbol { get; }
Property Value
GDID
Returns the GDID that this link represents
Declaration
public GDID GDID { get; }
Property Value
ID
Returns the ID portion of GDID represented by this instance
Declaration
Property Value
| Type |
Description |
| System.UInt64 |
|
Link
Returns a link encoded as a string using whatever randomization seed was passed to the last Encode(seed) call.
If Encode() was not called, then the link will get encoded using system rnd for a seed value
Declaration
public string Link { get; }
Property Value
| Type |
Description |
| System.String |
|
Returns metadata attached to this instance, or null if there is no metadata specified
Declaration
public byte[] Metadata { get; }
Property Value
| Type |
Description |
| System.Byte[] |
|
Methods
Encode(Nullable<Byte>)
Encodes a link into a textual form, using the supplied randomization seed, otherwise the system rnd is used.
A seed has 4 effective bits, yielding 16 possible variations for every link
Declaration
public string Encode(byte ? seed = default (byte ? ))
Parameters
