The properties of the ValueRepresentation class are listed below. For a complete list of ValueRepresentation class members, see the ValueRepresentation Members topic.
![]() IsStrictDecoded | Global switch for controlling strictness of DICOM content decoding. If this switch is set to false, a lot of conditions within Decode will be ignored. |
IsImplicit | Returns whether this instance is an implicit VR, a value representation without corresponding DICOM data stream entry. Therefore, the transfer syntax is considered. |
IsUndefined | Returns whether this instance is a defined or undefined value representation. An undefined value representation also is an unspecific value representation. Attention: The value representation UN (Unknown) is not an undefined value representation and thus specific. An undefined value representation is represented by an empty string. |
IsUnknown | Returns true, if this value representation instance is unknown (UN). |
Name | Access the string representation of this instance. The string representation is a two characters string of format "VR" and is an abbreviation for the type of DICOM value representation. If a value representation is unspecified, an empty string will be returned. |
StreamPosition | Position within a DICOM stream of this VR instance. If this instance does not belong to a stream, -1 will be returned. This will be the case, if this VR instance is registered in a data element dictionary. |
Tag | Access corresponding DICOM tag. |
TransferSyntax | Access corresponding DICOM transfer syntax. |
