Public Methods

Method	Description
DicomUid ( string uid, string desc, UidType type ) : System	Constructor.
Equals ( object obj ) : bool	Override that compares if two DicomUid instances are equal.
GenerateUid ( ) : DicomUid	This routine generates a DICOM Unique Identifier. The UID generator uses a GUID to generate the UID, as descriped in DICOM CP-1156: ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/final/cp1156_ft.pdf The UID is composed of the following components: UID Component Description 2.25 The UID root for GUID UIDs as per CP-1156. GUID as Integer The GUID is converted to an integer and displayed in base 10, which can be up to 39 characters long. The UID generator uses the above components to ensure uniqueness. It simply converts a GUID acquired by a call to Guid.NewGuid into an integer and appends it to the UID for uniqueness.
GetHashCode ( ) : int	An override that determines a hash code for the instance.
ToString ( ) : string	Override that displays the type of the UID if known, or else the UID value itself.

Private Methods

Method	Description
ConvertGuid ( System.Guid guid ) : string
FormatGuidAsString ( System.Guid guid ) : string	Formats a GUID as a big decimal string of digits.
GuidToSystemEndianBytes ( System.Guid guid ) : byte[]	Converts the 128-bits of a GUID into a byte stream of 4x 32-bit words, respecting the system endianess so that the MSB of the GUID is the MSB of the first word, and LSB of the GUID is the LSB of the last word.
