DataBuffer tempDB = new DataBuffer();

tempDB.SetFromString( new RFA_String("-40.00001"), ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Real );
tempDB.SetFromString( new RFA_String("+40000.006666"), ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Real );
tempDB.SetFromString( new RFA_String("12/31/2009"), ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Date );
tempDB.SetFromString( new RFA_String("21:10:01:010"), ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Time );
tempDB.SetFromString( new RFA_String("83"), ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Enumeration );

rfaString.Set("\x22 Any string (can include binary characters (e.g. \x01))... \x22");
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Buffer );
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.Opaque );

rfaString.Set("Any string...");
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.StringAscii );
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.StringUTF8 );
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.StringRMTES );

rfaString.Set("<-- Any XML data... -->");
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.XML );

rfaString.Set("Any ANSI_Page data...");
tempDB.SetFromString( rfaString, ThomsonReuters.RFA.Data.DataBuffer.DataBufferEnum.ANSI_Page );

Passing zero length string into this method is equivalent to calling DataBuffer.SetBlankData().

Typical use (note that examples don't call DataBuffer.Clear() or RFA_String.Clear() upon re-use): See Reference Manual of RFA_String for information about using the "length" parameter in the RFA_String contructor and Set() method.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
ThomsonReuters.RFA.Common..::..InvalidUsageException Invalid data type.
