Remarks

The Tuple class is a reference type object. However, while typical datastructures allow manipulation of the stored items that are referenced based the Space doesn't. Each Tuple returned from a Space is a unique object.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the usage of an Tuple.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        FifoSpace ts = new FifoSpace();
        Tuple myTuple = new Tuple("My first tuple");
        ts.Put(myTuple);
        System.Console.WriteLine(ts.Query(typeof(string)));
        System.Console.Read();
    }
    /*
    The following is printed to the console:
    <My first tuple>
    */
