Extension Objects

[andres]

Does the Client SDK provide support for reading values of user defined variable structure datatypes? If so can you please provide info on doing so. Thank you.

Hello andres,

at the moment, the AnsiC Client SDK does not support reading user defined structured data values.

Is this on the roadmap? If so do you have a timeframe?

Thank you,

Hello,

to be clear on our previous answer: the AnsiC SDK does not support automatic parsing of TypeDictionaries or (de)serializing of user defined structured data values. If you read such a value, you will get an ExtensionObject containing a binary blob instead of a deserialized structure. Deserializing the structure has to be done by the application.
