Namespace:  TwinCAT.TypeSystem
Assembly:  TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions (in TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions.dll) Version: 6.0.328+39e3229

Syntax

C#

public interface IDataType : IBitSize

The IDataType type exposes the following members.

Properties

 

Name

Description

IDataType Interface 1:

Attributes

Gets the attributes of the IDataType

IDataType Interface 2:

BitSize

Gets the size of the IDataType in bits. (Inherited from IBitSize.)

IDataType Interface 3:

ByteSize

Gets the (aligned) size of of the Type/Instance in Bytes (Inherited from IBitSize.)

IDataType Interface 4:

Category

Gets the Data Type category

IDataType Interface 5:

Comment

Gets the comment behind the variable declaration.

IDataType Interface 6:

FullName

Gets the full name of the IDataType (Namespace + Name)

IDataType Interface 7:

Id

Gets the ID of the DataType

IDataType Interface 8:

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.)

IDataType Interface 9:

IsByteAligned

Indicates that the Size of the Object is Byte aligned (BitSize % 8 == 0) (Inherited from IBitSize.)

IDataType Interface 10:

Name

Gets the name of the Data Type (without namespace)

IDataType Interface 11:

Namespace

Gets the namespace string within the IDataType exists.

IDataType Interface 12:

Size

Gets the size of the object in bytes or Bits dependant on IsBitType (Inherited from IBitSize.)
