DataValue Class TIBCO Spotfire 7.0 API Reference
An abstract base class for flyweight data value containers. More precisely, a DataValue instance contains a value of a particular DataType, and thus every DataValue has a corresponding DataType. (This is not necessarily true for the methods marked Obsolete in this class.) Instances of the generic subclass are normally used, often explicitly, and this non-generic base class is provided only for convenience in contexts where the generic type is not known, or variable. Note that this class is intended as a flyweight, that is, as a reusable container. This means that it is not optimized for memory and is unsuitable for representing arrays or matrices of data values, where a separate DataValue instance is used for each cell. Consider using a more compact representation of the values for such purposes. The DataValue class is not serializable and should not be used for persistent storage.
