Object
------

.. class:: Object

All script classes inherit from this type.  A variable of type Object_ can hold anything.

Methods
=======

.. method:: bool IsValid()
   
   Returns true if the Object_ contains a valid (non-null) reference to a corresponding object instance in memory. 
   
   .. note:: Same as !\ :method:`IsNull<Object.IsNull>`\ ()

.. method:: bool IsNull()
   
   Returns true if the Object_ does not contain a valid reference to a corresponding object instance in memory.
   
   .. note:: Same as !\ :method:`IsValid<Object.IsValid>`\ ()

.. method:: string ToString()
   
   Returns a string representation of the object. Not all classes derived from Object_ provide an implementation of ToString and will return an empty string.
