An enumerated (mcdbAtbType) representation of the data type represented by attribute instances with this McDBAttributeType.

A mcDBAtbType enumeration.  

object.Type

The Type Property syntax has these parts:

An McDBAttributeType instance represents a description for the type of an attribute instance. This type may be any from the set supported by the database engine, which is enumerated in the mcDBAtbType enumeration.

This property is Read Only, and is set when an McDBAttributeType is instantiated (i.e. during the call to McDBAttributeTypes.Add). If this McDBAttributeType is in an invalid state (e.g. its backing McDBDatabase object becomes unavailable because of security changes) this property will return mcdbEmpty.
