Remarks

The managed type of a value of this data type is object.
👉 The VBVariant subtype can be any VBType including VBVariant, or otherwise semantically invalid data types such as VBUnknownType.

Constructors

VBVariantType(VBType)

A VBIntrinsicType<T> representing the Variant data type.

public VBVariantType(VBType SubType)

Parameters

SubType VBType

The variant subtype, or wrapped data type.

Remarks

The managed type of a value of this data type is object.
👉 The VBVariant subtype can be any VBType including VBVariant, or otherwise semantically invalid data types such as VBUnknownType.

Properties

DefaultValue

Gets the default value for this data type.

public override VBVariantValue DefaultValue { get; }

Property Value

VBVariantValue

Remarks

⚠️ Derived types must back the implementation of this property with a thread-safe private static readonly Lazy<T>. Failure to do so would lock up the static context initialization of the StaticSymbol symbols.

SubType

The variant subtype, or wrapped data type.

public VBType SubType { get; init; }

Property Value

VBType

Subtype

The variant subtype, or wrapped data type.

public VBType Subtype { get; }

Property Value

VBType

TypeInfo

The Variant data type.

public static VBVariantType TypeInfo { get; }

Property Value

VBVariantType

Methods

CreateValue(IBindingHandle)

Recovers the wrapped VBTypedValue boxed into handle as a VBRuntimeVariantValue — the same pattern CreateValue(IBindingHandle) uses for an array — so a Variant read back from storage carries the very value that was actually stored, never a fresh, unrelated Empty.

public override VBTypedValue CreateValue(IBindingHandle handle)

Parameters

handle IBindingHandle

Returns

VBTypedValue
