<summary>The raw GObject reference associated with this wrapper.</summary>
<value>an object of type <see cref="T:System.IntPtr" /></value>
<remarks> Only subclasses of Object can access this read/write property. For public read-only access, use the Handle property. This property should only be used from constructors to set a native object pointer instantiated by the constructor. The constructor should chain to base (IntPtr.Zero) on the base class to ensure that no other native objects are instantiated for the class.</remarks>

<summary>Stores and Accesses arbitrary data on the Object.</summary>
<value>a <see cref="T:System.Collections.Hashtable" /></value>
<remarks>
This property is obsolete and should not be used unless you explicitly retain a reference to the
<see cref="T:GLib.Object" />. Otherwise the Data hashtable will be lost when the Garbage Collector
releases your managed object wrapper. There are much better alternatives to this anyway. Consider
using a Hashtable on your class that is keyed by <see cref="T:GLib.Object" /> or a subclass with
an object property for the data you want to store instead. There are many better ways to accompish
the role of this property.
