GetValue<T>(DicomElement,T,out T) Method

Summary
Returns the value of a DICOM element.
Syntax
C#
VB
C++
public DicomDataSet GetValue<T>( 
   DicomElement element, 
   T defaultValue, 
   out T value 
) 
Public Overloads Function GetValue(Of T)( _ 
   ByVal element As DicomElement, _ 
   ByVal defaultValue As T, _ 
   ByRef value As T _ 
) As DicomDataSet 
public: 
DicomDataSet^ GetValuegeneric<typename T> 
(  
   DicomElement^ element, 
   T^ defaultValue, 
   [Out] T^ value 
)

Parameters

element
an item in the data set

defaultValue
a value of type T that is returned if the actual value cannot be retrieved.

value
reference to an object that will be updated with the value.

Type Parameters

T
specifies the type of the value to return

Return Value

a reference to the DicomDataSet

Remarks

For information on this method, see GetValue.

Example

This example will create a DICOM sequence, and then read back values from the sequence

C#
VB
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom;
