IListType

IListType is interface for list descriptions.

/// <summary>Describes a single dimension list</summary>
public interface IListType : IDataType, ICyclical, IRangeProvider<ulong>
{
    /// <summary>Element type</summary>
    IDataType Element { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>Interface for properties that describe range of elements.</summary>
public interface IRangeProvider<T> where T : struct
{
    /// <summary>Minimum number of elements.</summary>
    Nullable<T> MinLength { get; set; }
    /// <summary>Maximum number of elements.</summary>
    Nullable<T> MaxLength { get; set; }
}

IDataType
└── IListType

ListType is the default implementation.

IListType listType = new ListType
{
    Name = Identities.CreateNamespace("Namespace").AppendName("MyList").SetReadOnly(),
    Annotations = { },
    Description = "This fields contains name of the record",
    Unassignable = true,
    Referable = true,
    Element = DataTypes.Int32.Instance
}.SetReadOnly();

Namespace.MyList : IListType
└── Element = int : IIntegerType

ListTypeRequest is request for a list type when sub-requests are needed.

// Create service
IService service = Services.Create(NetTypeHandlers.Instance);
// Create list request
ListTypeRequest listRequest = new ListTypeRequest
{
    Name = Identities.CreateName("MyList"),
    Annotations = new Dictionary<string, string> { { IDataType.Annotation.Description, "This fields contains name of the record" } },
    Unassignable = null,
    Referable = null,
    Element = new DataTypeRequest<NetType>(typeof(int))
};
// Request list
IListType listType = service.GetRequired<ListTypeRequest, IListType>(listRequest);

MyList : IListType
└── Element = int : IIntegerType
