Syntax

C++

[FlagsAttribute()] 
public enum DicomNetFlags

<FlagsAttribute()>  
Public Enum DicomNetFlags

public: 
   [FlagsAttribute] 
   enum class DicomNetFlags sealed

Members

Value	Member	Description
0x00000000	None	All Group Length Standard Data Elements are automatically removed from any DICOM datasets used in DICOM Communication. This is the default behavior.
0x00000001	SendDataWithGroupLengthStandardDataElements	All Group Length Standard Data Elements are automatically included with any DICOM datasets used in DICOM Communication.

Remarks

Group Length Standard Data Elements were retired in the 2007 DICOM Specification (PS3.5-2007). Group Length Standard Data Elements are of the form (gggg,0000) where where the group gggg is not 0, 2, 4, 6.

DICOM Communication typically involves a DICOM command set, and a DICOM data set.
All group Length Standard Data Elements are automatically removed from DICOM datasets used in DICOM communication by default.

Even though Group Length Standard Data Elements are retired, older implementations of DICOM SCU and DICOM SCP may expect Group Length Standard Data Elements. If this is the case, set the DicomNet.Flags property to DicomNetFlags.SendDataWithGroupLengthStandardDataElements.
