AttributeFamilyType Class

This class is a wrapper for the CAEX element 'AttributeType' which defines base structures for attribute type definitions. The AttributeType allows the creation of AttributeType trees. AttributeTypes are organized in AttributeType libraries, which can be processed with the AttributeTypeLibType. This class supports direct enumeration of the AttributeType's children in the AttributeType tree.

	Attribute	Gets a collection of Attributes contained in this instance. (Inherited from AttributeTypeType)
	AttributeAndDescendants	Gets the attributes and all nested attributes. (Inherited from AttributeTypeType)
	AttributeAndInherited	Gets the attributes and including all inherited attributes.
	AttributeDataType	Gets and set the AttributeDataType. If the AttributeDataType is not defined for this AttributeType but a BaseClass exists, the AttributeDataType of the BaseClass is returned. If this optional attribute is not defined, the data type is assumed to be "xs:string", according to CAEX (DIN EN 62424:2008-08) (Overrides AttributeTypeTypeAttributeDataType)
