Property Value

The concepts of datatypes in HDF5 make it not too obvious if two types are 'equal' when compared. A type is identified by means of an identifier, which basically boils down to a local file uniqueness only. So the same datatype will often be represented by different data type ids when used in different files and/or between subsequent program starts.

The BaseType property returns the current identifier of the _base_ type (or 'super' type) for the type which is used to store the attribute values on.

DO NOT EXPECT ANY SPECIFIC VALUE FOR THIS IDENTIFIER! Moreover, do not expect this value to be directly comparable to any of the predefined HDF types from the HDF.PInvoke low level bindings!

The ID returned refers to the type of the attribute in the current file. At the time the identifier is returned this ID will be closed and .
