Hi there,
I have a structure with several attributes and I'm building a Record List out of it to send inside an extension.
In the extension I need to check for every attribute if it is a Currency type attribute.
However, apparently OutSystems handles Currency as a Decimal, so my idea to get my answer through Reflection got dumped. -.-''
Is there any other way to check for Currency type?
If that's not possible, I'll have to workaround it with attributes' naming conventions...not cool, but we have to live with it. :)
Thanks!
João,
You are not mistaken decimal in C# is the data type to store money values.
The decimal has more significant figures than the double, therefore it can be more precise- it also takes up slightly more memory.

Daniel
If I'm not mistaken, currency is the same as a decimal, both in .NET and in the database. I believe it's a type in OutSystems just for the platform to be able to apply some automatic validations and formatting options. The same thing applies to the Email type, which is just a Text.
