public IndexedList<T> GetAssociators<T>() where T : Persistent
Generic Template Parameters- T

RemarksIn order for this to work, the ObjectClass of this object must be in a ClassCategory which has the Log Associations function set.
The returned collection will contain all objects of the appropriate type which have set this object into either an associated single member, or an associated collection member. It will NOT contain the parent object of this object, unless that parent also has an association to this object. Note that this method involves only a single indexed lookup in persistent storage, as Persistate keeps track of all associations made.
