Method: IsKindOf for BinaryChannelFormatter

Method: IsKindOf for BinaryChannelFormatter

Checks whether the BinaryChannelFormatter object is a certain type.

The BinaryChannelFormatter object contains information about how the values of a channel are represented in the binary file. The channel always belongs to a BinaryBlock.

bIsKindOf = Object.IsKindOf(Type)

The following example checks each channel whether this channel has a BinaryBlock and creates the channel property DataType:

Dim oMyChn
For Each oMyChn in oBlock.Channels
  If (oMyChn.Formatter.IsKindOf(eBinaryBlock)) Then
    Call oMyChn.Properties.Add("DataType", oMyChn.Formatter.DataType)
  End If
Next
