Gets a pointer to a string value that is stored in the Value Field of the specified element.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function GetStringValuePtr( _ ByVal element As DicomElement, _ ByVal index As Integer _ ) As IntPtr

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As DicomDataSet Dim element As DicomElement Dim index As Integer Dim value As IntPtr value = instance.GetStringValuePtr(element, index)

C#
public IntPtr GetStringValuePtr( DicomElement element, int index )

C++/CLI
public: IntPtr GetStringValuePtr( DicomElement^ element, int index )

Parameters

element: An item in the Data Set.
index: The zero-based index of the string value to retrieve, when more than one value is stored in the Value Field.

Return Value

A pointer to a string value stored in the Value Field of the specified Data Element. It is null if The length of the Value Field is 0, the method was called for the incorrect Value Representation type, or the method was called for a folder (sequence) element.

Example

For an example, refer to DicomDataSet.SetIntValue.

Remarks

The method can be used to get one string value at a time. Therefore, if multiple values are stored in the Value Field, the method needs to be called multiple times to get all the values. This method can be called only if the Value Representation of the Data Element is:

For more information about Value Representations, refer to Default Value Representation Table.
