ICEAttribute.DataArray

Description

Sets or returns a 1D Array object containing the data defined by this attribute. If ICEAttribute.IsConstant is true, the array has only one item which contains the constant value. Returns an empty array if the attribute's structure type is not a singleton.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
Object rtn = ICEAttribute.DataArray;
// set accessor
ICEAttribute.DataArray = Object;
