| DataTypeRegister |
Allows the registration and retrieval of data type definitions. Used internally when a data type is processed via an attribute, and can be used by consuming code to register data types which cannot be decorated with an attribute. For example one could register a DataTypeRegistration for an enum from the .NET Framework, for a complex type from a library or indeed for any type whose source code is not controlled by the caller. A registration made explicitly via a call to Register will always take precedence over values specified in a [DataType] attribute. If a data type is used for a property which specifies its own alias, data type name or converter in its property attribute then these settings take precedence over both the registration and the data type attribute. |
