How to get the Property Value Type - C#

[AYanez]

Hi to everybody I am using C# to automate some tasks but I dont have much time using it. I am trying to get the type of a fileglobal variable, I am expecting to get this: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsapiref/reftopics/obsolete_propertyobject_gettyp....

Currently I have arrived to the point when I have a property object of the variable and I am trying to get the type, the code is below:

// Get a reference for the current variable object
PropertyObject variable = Seqref.FileGlobalsDefaultValues.GetPropertyObjectByOffset(Index, 0);

PropertyObjectType VarType = variable.Type.GetType();

But Visual Studio remarks the next error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Type' to 'NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.API.PropertyObjectType'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Am I doing something wrong? Your help will be appreciated.

I think you can just get rid of the GetType() on the end there.

PropertyObject.Type will return a PropertyObjectType.

GetType() returns a PropertyValueTypes which isn't the same thing.  It is an enum.

For anyone looking for the PropertyValueTypes value, do the following:

variable.Type.ValueType
