Public Methods
The ReferenceValue class has the following public methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Concat(ReferenceValue) |
Creates a new ReferenceValue object by concatenating the distinguished name of this ReferenceValue with the distinguished name of another ReferenceValue object. |
| Concat(String) |
Creates a new ReferenceValue object by concatenating the distinguished name of this ReferenceValue with a distinguished name string. The string can contain escaped characters. |
| Equals |
Determines whether the specified System.Object is equal to the current Value. |
| GetHashCode |
Serves as a hash function for a particular type. |
| GetType |
Retrieves the Type of the current object. |
| Parent |
Creates a new ReferenceValue object that contains the distinguished name of the parent of this ReferenceValue object. |
| Parent(Int32) |
Creates a new ReferenceValue object that contains the distinguished name of the parent of this ReferenceValue object, starting from the specified parent level. |
| Subcomponents |
Creates a new ReferenceValue object that contains a set of subcomponents of this ReferenceValue object. |
| ToBinary |
Because the binary value of a reference makes no sense, if you attempt to execute this method, it throws the InvalidOperationException exception. |
| ToBoolean |
Because the Boolean value of a reference makes no sense, if you attempt to execute this method, it throws the InvalidOperationException exception. |
| ToInteger |
Because the integer value of a reference makes no sense, if you attempt to execute this method, it throws the InvalidOperationException exception. |
| ToString |
Interprets the contents of the ReferenceValue object as a System.String value. If the value is binary, it is converted to a string of hexadecimal digits in little-endian byte order. The return value can contain escaped characters. |

The ReferenceValue class defines the following public properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| DataType | Data type: AttributeType Access type: Read-only Inherited from the Value class. Retrieves one of the AttributeType values that indicates the type of data that the Value object contains. |
| Depth | Data type: Int32 Access type: Read-only Retrieves the hierarchy depth of this ReferenceValue object. This property is equal to the number of components in the distinguished name. |
| Item | Data type: String Access type: Read-only Retrieves an individual component of the distinguished name. The return value can contain escaped characters. |
