C#
public static bool IsValidDataType(
	ParameterType datatype
)

public:
static bool IsValidDataType(

)

Parameters

datatype
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ParameterType
Type of the data the parameter is to store.

Return Value

True if the data type is suitable for a global parameter; False otherwise.

Remarks

Since most data types but not all are supported by global parameters, it is reasonable to test a ParameterType before attempting to create a global parameter of it.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentOutOfRangeException A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
