Syntax

C#

public interface IAliasType : IDataType, 
    IBitSize

The IAliasType type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Attributes	Gets the attributes of the IDataType (Inherited from IDataType)
	BaseType	Gets the Base Type
	BaseTypeName	Gets the BaseType name
	BitSize	Gets the size of the IDataType in bits. (Inherited from IBitSize)
	ByteSize	Gets the (aligned) size of of the Type/Instance in Bytes (Inherited from IBitSize)
	Category	Gets the Data Type category (Inherited from IDataType)
	Comment	Gets the comment behind the variable declaration. (Inherited from IDataType)
	FullName	Gets the full name of the IDataType (Namespace + Name) (Inherited from IDataType)
	Id	Gets the ID of the DataType (Inherited from IDataType)
	IsBitType	Gets a value indicating whether this instance is not basing on a full DataType but instead of some sort of bit mapping (Inherited from IBitSize)
	IsByteAligned	Indicates that the Size of the Object is Byte aligned (BitSize % 8 == 0) (Inherited from IBitSize)
	Name	Gets the name of the Data Type (without namespace) (Inherited from IDataType)
	Namespace	Gets the namespace string within the IDataType exists. (Inherited from IDataType)
	Size	Gets the size of the object in bytes or Bits dependant on IsBitType (Inherited from IBitSize)

	ResolvableAsPrimitive	Indicates, that this data type can be resolved as primitive or primmitive Array. (Defined by DataTypeExtension)
	Resolve	Resolves the specified data type for AliasReference (Resolving the IAliasType/IReferenceType) (Defined by DataTypeExtension)
	Resolve	Resolves the specified strategy. (Defined by DataTypeExtension)
