Public Class Instance
Implements IInstance, IBitSize
The Instance type exposes the following members.
Properties
| 
 | Name | Description | 
|---|---|---|

                     | Gets the Type Attributes. | |
| 
                     | Gets the size of this Instance in bits. | |
| 
                     | Gets the (aligned) size of of the Type/Instance in Bytes | |
| 
                     | Gets the the DataTypeCategory of the Instance. | |
| 
                     | Gets the comment. | |
| 
                     | Gets the context mask of this instance. | |
| 
                     | ||
| 
                     | Gets a value indicating whether this instance has a value. | |

                     | Gets the name of the instance (without periods (.) | |
| 
                     | Gets the relative / absolute access path to the instance (with periods (.)) | |
| 
                     | Gets a value indicating whether this instance is not basing on a full DataType but instead of some sort of bit mapping | |
| 
                     | Indicates that the Size of the Object is Byte aligned (BitSize % 8 == 0) | |
| 
                     | Indicates if this instance is persistent. | |
| 
                     | Gets a value indicating whether this instance is reference. | |

| 
                     | Gets a value indicating whether this instance is reference. | |
| 
                     | Gets a value indicating whether this IInstance is static. | |
| 
                     | Indicates if this instance is a TcComInterfacePointer. | |
| 
                     | Indicates if this instance has set TypeGuid flag. | |
| 
                     | Gets the namespace name. | |
| 
                     | Gets the size of the IDataType in bytes or Bits dependant on IsBitType | |
| 
                     | Gets the name of the DataType that is used for this IInstance. | 
Methods

                     | Aligns the type name | |
| 
                     | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
| 
                     | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
| 
                     | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) | |
|

                     | Handler function getting the size of the Instance | |
| 
                     | Sets a new InstanceName InstancePath | |
| 
                     | Sets the context mask. | |
| 
                     | Returns a String that represents this instance. (Overrides Object.ToString..) |
