## Parameter.ValueType

### Description

Returns the data type (siVariantType) of the parameter's value. For example, a check-box parameter would return siBool and a text-based parameter would return siString (see siVariantType for more information on possible values for parameters).
Note: This is different from the SIObject.Type property, which refers to the type of the Parameter object (which returns "Parameter").

### C# Syntax

    // get accessor

    siVariantType rtn = Parameter.ValueType;

### Examples

#### VBScript Example

    '

    ' This example demonstrates the different between Type, ValueType and TypeName().

    ' Both a custom parameter and the position of an object are parameter objects

    ' so they have the same Type. However because one is an integer value and the

    ' other a double, they have different ValueTypes
