- [Type](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/type.md): Gets the type for this entry.

## Methods

- [AreIndentical](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/areindentical.md): (static) Test two entries for equality. This comparison (unlike Equals and CompareTo) test both the location and value of the entry.
- [DeserializeObject<T>](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/deserializeobject.md): Deserialize an object from the internal data.
- [Equals](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/equals.md): (2 overloads)
- [FromObject](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/fromobject.md): (static) Stores a generic object. The object must either provide its own deserialization via the Serializable attribute or the ISerializable interface, or it must be supported as one of the standard types via the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter class. The object will be stored as a byte-array.
- [GetHashCode](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/gethashcode.md)
- [Read](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/read.md): (static) Read an entry from a binary reader.
- [ToString](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/tostring.md): Gets a string representation of this item. This conversion can be lossy.
- [Write](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/write.md): (static) Write an entry to an archive.

## Convertors

- [operator implicit](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopperio.database.value/op-implicit.md): (34 overloads, static)
