Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Field Object describes a single field within a Data Source Object. A field is the same as a variable. It is a placeholder for a value which is inserted into an object. For example the field "Name" can have the value "IDEAL Software".

Fields are VARIANTS that can hold either a string or an integer value (in later versions they will also be able to hold floating point and date / time values). Fields are defined in the FieldStudio. Using dycodoc you insert fields into a document during design-time.

Properties:

AsString
Set / retrieve the field's value as string

AsInteger
Set / retrieve the field's value as integer

Name
The name of the field as defined in FieldStudio.

Description
The description of the field as defined in FieldStudio.

DataSourceObject
