Checks the provided Type against the list of recognized numeric types and special types supported for SampledMetric data.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Shared Function IsValidDataType( _
   ByVal userDataType As Type _
) As Boolean
 

Parameters

userDataType
The typeof(SomeSpecificType) or dataValue.GetType() to check.

Return Value

True if Loupe supports sampled metric data samples with that Type, otherwise false.
Remarks
Sampled metrics require inherently numeric samples, so only data with a numeric Type or of a recognized Type which can be converted to a numeric value in a standard way can be sampled for a sampled metric counter. Supported numeric .NET types include: Double, Single, Decimal, Int64, UInt64, Int32, UInt32, Int16, and UInt16. The common time representation types: DateTime, DateTimeOffset, and TimeSpan are also supported by automatically taking their Ticks value. All sampled metric data samples are converted to a Double (double-precision floating point) value when sampled.
Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
