The StringType type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Attributes	Gets the attributes of the IDataType (Inherited from DataType.)
	BitSize	Gets the size of the DataType in bits. (Inherited from DataType.)
	ByteSize	Gets the (aligned) size of of the Type/Instance in Bytes (Inherited from DataType.)
	Category	Gets the Data Type category (Inherited from DataType.)
	Comment	Gets the comment. (Inherited from DataType.)
	Encoding	Gets the encoding of the String (Encoding.Default (Ansi Codepage, STRING) or Encoding.UNICODE (WSTRING))
	FullName	Gets the full name of the IDataType (Namespace + Name) (Inherited from DataType.)
	Id	Gets the ID of the DataType (Inherited from DataType.)
	IsBitType	Gets a value indicating whether this IDataType is a bit mapping Type (Inherited from DataType.)
	IsByteAligned	Indicates that the Size of the Object is Byte aligned (BitSize % 8 == 0) (Inherited from DataType.)
	IsFixedLength	Gets a value indicating whether the string is of fixed length.
	Length	Gets the number of characters within the string.
	ManagedType	Gets the corresponding .NET Type if attached. (Inherited from DataType.)
	Name	Gets the name of the Data Type (without namespace) (Inherited from DataType.)
	Namespace	Gets the namespace string within the IDataType exists. (Inherited from DataType.)
	Size	Gets the Size of the DataType in Bytes or bits. (Inherited from DataType.)
	TypeGuid	Gets the Guid of the DataType (optional) (Inherited from DataType.)
