Remarks
User-defined types allow the assignation of these types to runtime attributes of Server object types or to runtime attributes of representation object types.

This class also lets you pass values of any types to functions that take the type MvValue as a parameter, such as the callback API (see MvEndPoint).

For this class to be serializable (within the Rogue Wave Server framework), you must implement two methods: static public MyType Decode(MvMessage msg)To deserialize your type.public MvMessage Encode(MvMessage msg)To serialize your type.
