Members| All Members | Constructors | Methods | Properties | ||
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Attribute()()() |
Default constructor.
|
| Attribute(UInt32, VR, array<Object>[]()[]) |
Creates an Attribute |
 | DicomUnicodeConverter |
DICOM to Unicode Converter
|
| DicomValue |
Dicom Value.
|
| DisplayVR |
This property decides about VR display in attribute dump
|
| DvtDetailToXml(StreamWriter, Int32) |
Serialize DVT Detail Data to Xml.
|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize()()() | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode()()() | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode()()() is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType()()() | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Length |
Attribute Length - only used for serialization.
|
| MemberwiseClone()()() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name |
This is a literal string identifying the attribute by name.
|
| Tag |
Dicom Tag.
|
| ToString()()() | Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ValueRepresentation |
Value Representation of the DicomValue

Remarks
This class implements the generic logic that can be applied to
Elements such as vr, tag, vm access and value indexing.
Command Element: An encoding of a parameter of a command which conveys this parameter's value.
DATA ELEMENT: A unit of information as defined by a single entry in the data dictionary.
An encoded Information Object Definition (IOD) Attribute that is composed of, at a minimum,
three fields: a Data Element Tag, a Value Length, and a Value Field.
For some specific Transfer Syntaxes, a Data Element also contains a VR Field
where the Value Representation of that Data Element is specified explicitly.
