interface IFlushable in Tinman.Core.IO

Base interface for classes that perform caching and provide a flush method.

			DatasetFileCache
			IBinaryWriter
			IFile
			IMapEntity
			ITaskQueue
			ITextStream
			PyramidFileCache
			SourceCodeWriter

Remarks

Usually, implementing classes cache I/O work. However, this interface does not restrict implementors to cache only read and write accesses. For example, a class may choose to buffer commands; in this case, flushing will force all buffered commands to be executed.

Methods

Flush

Flushes all cached data.

method

Flush ()

Remarks:

Performing a flush may result in I/O work. Depending on the semantics of the implementing class, this work may need to be wrapped in special Begin / End method calls. See the documentation of the implementing classes for details.

In case this object represents a read-only resource, calling the Flush method has no effect.
