ImplicitSequenceLength Property

In This Topic

Controls whether sequences are written out using Implicit or Explicit lengths for the sequence

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property ImplicitSequenceLength As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As WriteBehaviours
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ImplicitSequenceLength = value
 
value = instance.ImplicitSequenceLength

public bool ImplicitSequenceLength {get; set;}

public:
property bool ImplicitSequenceLength {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

Remarks

For sequences, DICOM allows either explicit or implicit length to be used for the sequence itself, and when reading/receiving, both are accepted. This is separate from the choice made for individual sequence items, which are controlled by the ImplicitSequenceItemLength property.

The default value of this property is derived from the the bit 0 of the ImplicitSequence value the internal registry, which in turn has a default value of 0, causing this property to be false, resulting in explicit sequence lengths being used.
