How to get the type version of a custom data type programmatically

[lwi94]

Hi,

I have created a new custom data type and now I am wondering if it is possible to get its Version programmatically.

I am using this custom data type as a result container and I want to store the Version of the data type as a string inside itself. I want to use this as a version control.

In my sequence I have created a container in FileGlobals named Result. I have found the option of getting the TypeVersion of a propertyobject but I couldn't get it work this way:

FileGlobals.Result.Version = FileGlobals.Result.AsPropertyObject.TypeVersion

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance! Any help appreciated.

Hi  lwi94

I help you try it 30 mins to get answer. 

When you creat a custimized container and have it's name.

Then ues statement "RunState.Engine.GetTypeDefinition("XXXXX").TypeVersion" to get the version

XXXXX means your container's name.

Thanks,

Ricky
