Working with custom data
You can store data of your own format in items. Use the following methods in the Document and Item classes:
| Document |
Item |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| GetItemValueCustomDataBytes |
GetValueCustomDataBytes |
Gets custom data in the form of a byte array. |
| ReplaceItemValueCustomDataBytes |
SetValueCustomDataBytes |
Writes custom data in the form of a byte array. |
An item that contains custom data is of type Item.USERDATA (14).
Note: In Release 6, custom data was added for Java™. In Release 6.5, custom data was added
for CORBA, LotusScript®,
and COM.
When you store data, you can specify a data type name that must be supplied when you get the data.
