OriginalParentCache

public static internals.caches.OriginalParentCache

This singleton internal class implements a cache that stores every control’s original parent, so that the dynamic loading/unloading of active components can be managed smoothly.

Tip

This class cannot be used directly by the end user, save for with reflection. Just because you can access it with reflection, however, doesn’t mean that you should. This is a highly sensitive class that may break your program when misused. This class is documented here only for maintainability purposes.

properties:

<OriginalParentCache> INSTANCE - The instance used to access the class, since it is a singleton.
Dictionary<string, Control> cache - The cache containing the original parents of every control.

Constructors

private OriginalParentCache()

This constructor is purely a singleton-enforcing ctor.
