	DataTypeAttributes	Gets the parameter's data type attributes. These attributes are defined in system metadata.
	DefaultValue	Returns the default value.

	ID	Gets the parameter's ID.
	MaskName	For enumeration types only, the name of an enumeration item in the enumeration specifying a sub-attribute mask. If a MaskName is provided and a corresponding enumeration item is found in the enumeration, the mask is used to determine which attributes are valid in the current context.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clone	Returns a MemberwiseClone copy of this object.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	EqualValue	Determines if the object value is equal to another object. If the two objects are null, then this returns true. There is special handling for guid comparisons (since a guid could be a string formatted in up to 3 different ways). If the special guid handling is not performed, then the object.Equals method is used. (Defined by EAPUtil.)
