The ValueType property provides the parser specific value type of the NBElement (which typically controls how the logical message is converted to a bitstream).

C# | Visual Basic | Visual C++ | F# |
public NBElementValueType ValueType { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property ValueType As NBElementValueType Get
public: property NBElementValueType ValueType { NBElementValueType get (); }
member ValueType : NBElementValueType

ValueType returns the broker datatype of the value of the element.
