void Activate(Object obj)

activates an object with the current activation strategy. In regular activation mode the object will be activated to the global activation depth, ( see Db4objects.Db4o.Config.ICommonConfiguration.ActivationDepth ) and all configured settings for Db4objects.Db4o.Config.IObjectClass.MaximumActivationDepth(System.Int32) and Db4objects.Db4o.Config.IObjectClass.MaximumActivationDepth(System.Int32) will be respected.

In Transparent Activation Mode ( see Db4objects.Db4o.TA.TransparentActivationSupport ) the parameter object will only be activated, if it does not implement Db4objects.Db4o.TA.IActivatable . All referenced members that do not implement Db4objects.Db4o.TA.IActivatable will also be activated. Any Db4objects.Db4o.TA.IActivatable objects along the referenced graph will break cascading activation.
