public class XTField : XField

The XTField type exposes the following members.

Constructors
  NameDescription

Copy ctor
Public methodXTField(TTField, XRecord)
Initializes a new instance of the XTField class.
Public methodXTField(XTField, XRecord)
Copy ctor but into a new XRecord

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyFieldValue
Gets or sets the field value.
(Overrides XFieldFieldValue.)
Public propertyIsModified
Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance is modified.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public propertyValue
Gets or sets the value.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodCanRead
Determines whether current connection can read from Field.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodCanWrite
Determines whether current connection can write from Field.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodClear
Clears this instance.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodClone
Clones this instance.
Public methodCloneAsXField
We cannot use name 'Clone' here otherwise Implements vector.TId(Of XSField) fails because XSField.Clone() returns a XField instead of a XSField !!!
(Overrides XFieldCloneAsXField(XRecord).)
Public methodDataToView
Converts field value to readable string.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodDataToView(Int32)
Mandatory otherwise DataToView(5) returns letter 5 of string given by DataToView(), instead of the subfield value
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to this instance.
(Inherited from XField.)
Protected methodField
each derived class embed its own TField member, which can be a TAField, TCField, TEField, etc. this function must return that original TField
(Overrides XFieldField.)
Public methodFieldDef
Gets the Field definition.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodFieldType
The Field type.
(Inherited from XField.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodKey
Gets Field Key.
(Inherited from XField.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodParentRecord
Gets the parent record.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodRead
Reads the Content from source object.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodReset
Resets this instance.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodSetDefaultValues
Sets the default values.
(Inherited from XField.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodWrite
Writes data into a TQuery and Format it depending to field type
(Inherited from XField.)
