Purpose

Use this property to return the value of an item as it is stored in the database.

• If an item has no units, the entered value is returned.
• If an item has units, the number that is converted to the base unit is returned.

For example, if the base unit for a weight item is kilograms, and the InForm user enters a value of 100 and:

• Selects kg, the property returns 100.
• Selects lbs, the property returns 45.359237.

To determine the value that the InForm user entered into the field, use EnteredValue and the accompanying EnteredUnit.
