Unique Identifier (UID)
Declaration Syntax| C# | Visual Basic | Visual C++ |
public class UniqueIdentifier : DicomValueType
Public Class UniqueIdentifier _ Inherits DicomValueType
public ref class UniqueIdentifier : public DicomValueType
Members| All Members | Constructors | Methods | Properties | Fields | |
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | UniqueIdentifier()()() | Initializes a new instance of the UniqueIdentifier class |
 | _dicomUnicodeConverter | (Inherited from DicomValueType.) |
 | DicomUnicodeConverter |
DICOM to Unicode Converter
(Inherited from DicomValueType.) |
| DvtDetailToXml(StreamWriter, Int32) |
Serialize DVT Detail Data to Xml.
(Overrides DicomValueType.DvtDetailToXml(StreamWriter, Int32).) |
| 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.) |
 | GenerateUidValue()()() |
Generates a Unique Identifier value.
|
| 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.) |
| MemberwiseClone()()() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString()()() | Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Values |

Remarks
A character string containing a UID that is
used to uniquely identify a wide variety of
items. The UID is a series of numeric
components separated by the period "."
character. If a Value Field containing one or
more UIDs is an odd number of bytes in
length, the Value Field shall be padded with a
single trailing NULL (00H) character to ensure
that the Value Field is an even number of
bytes in length. See Section 9 and Annex B
for a complete specification and examples.
