[SerializableAttribute]
public abstract class Participant : IDeserializableAbstractClass,
ICheckSum| Participant | Initializes a new instance of the Participant class |
| AttributeValues | A list of AttributeValues assigned to this Participant. |
| CheckSum | A hashed value that is unique to this instance. The value is calculated by the CalculateChecksum() method. |
| Club | The Hometown Club the Participant represents. Note, this is NOT the same as any team the Participant is shooting with. |
| Coaches | A list of this Participant's coaches. |
| CompetitorNumber | A unique, human readable, value assigned to all Participants in a match. In most cases the CompetitorNumber will be numeric, but it can also be alphabetical. |
| ConcreteClassId | Implementation of the IDeserializableAbstractClass interface. To have added control over the Deserialization of abstract classes, in to Concrete classes, the JSON should include a ConcreteClassId that specifies the Concrete class. |
| Country | The three letter country code the participant is from. |
| DisplayName | When a competitor's name is displayed, this is the default display value. |
| DisplayNameShort | When a competitor's name is displayed, and there is limited number of characters, use this value. There is no rule as to how long the Short value could be, but by convention 12 characters or less. |
| HomeTown | The Hometown the participant is from. |
| RemarkList | A list of Remark objects, each containing a RemarkName, sometimes a reason, and a status (show or don't) |
| TeamName | The team name the Participant is a member of. Note, this is NOT the same as any club the Participant is affiliated with. |
| UniqueMergeId | Calculated value to use to identify the same particpant accross multiple result lists. Primarily used in TournamentMerge. |
| CalculateChecksum |
Calculates a checksum value that represents the current state of the instance's properties, excluding the
LastUpdated and CheckSum properties. Assuming the underlying data did not change, the value of this method should be the same
across multiple serializations and deserializations of the same instance.
The intent of this method is two-fold. First to provide a way to verify the integrity of the instance's data after deserialization. If someone (or something) modified the serialized values then CalculateChecksum should return a different value. While we may not know what changed, we can at least detect something manipulated the data. The second intent is to compare the value of the instance on the server to the local copy. If the value is the same (on the server and locally) then the server has the up to date instance value. |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |

| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Overrides ObjectToString) |
