Detailed Description

Represents the name and type of a field in an EventType.

Note that the easiest way to create instances of this generic Field object is to use FieldTypes to get a FieldType object then call the FieldType<T>.NewField(string) helper method to create the Field.

Almost all new applications are recommended to use this class, instead of the legacy non-generic Field class.

The following example shows how it is possible to create a field object whose type is an Apama sequence of integers:

Field<Int64> myField = FieldTypes.Sequence(FieldTypes.Integer).NewField("myField");

Template Parameters

T	The .NET type used to represent values of this field.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Apama.Event.Parser.Field< T >.Field	(	string	name,
		FieldType< T >	type
	)

Creates a new field.

Consider using FieldType<T>.NewField(string) instead of calling this method.

Parameters

name	The field name
type	the field type

get

Get the generic FieldType of this field object.
