Need to retrieve Type data of custom iPropertis using iLogic

[RoyWickrama_RWEI]

I am developing part of my rule to handle custom iProperties.

I need to retrieve "Type" data of iProperties.

My 

My current rule (sample) is attached here to: I need to do with iProperty type information.

I appreciate if someone help me.

If anyone still needs it here is my code to check the type of an iProperties value:

Dim activeDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim message As String
For Each iProp As Inventor.Property In activeDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
	message &= vbNewLine & iProp.DisplayName & " is of Type " & iProp.Value.GetType().ToString()
Next
MessageBox.Show(message)

This will give the Type of each custom iProperty.

Sorry for really late reply!

You are correct about adding as 123456 or "123456".

In our case, we know which types our properties have to be, but it sometimes happened that 123456 was added as the number instead of the string.

We could just convert as you suggested, but that would dirty files which have OK properties. We needed to check the type of the property, so if it is string, just skip it, if it is NOT string, convert it. I was missing this comparing piece, which we can get via "GetType()" as @Michael_Riemer suggested.

Thank you for the help anyway!

@Michael_Riemer 

Thank you for the suggested code and hint! We are gonna work around "GetType()".
