ElementValue Property

Summary

Gets or sets the string value of the DICOM element being read.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public string ElementValue { get; set; }

public:  
   property String^ ElementValue 
   { 
      String^ get() 
      void set(String^ value) 
   }

Property Value

The string value of the DICOM element being read.

Remarks

If ElementDataType is ElementDataType.String, then this will be the value assigned to the DicomElement that will be created.

If ElementDataType is ElementDataType.Base64, then ElementValue contains a string that will be decoded accordingly, and then assigned to the DicomElement that will be created.

Modifying ElementValue changes the value that will be written for the DicomElement.
