Syntax	DICOMDSElement CurrentElement
Overview	Refer to Working with Data Sets.

Remarks

Holds the currently selected Data Set Element.

CurrentElement has the following Read-Only properties:

Property	Type	Description
Tag	long	Data element tag. For a list of default values, refer to Data Element Tag Constants.
VR	short	Value representation. For a list of default values supported by DICOM, refer to Value Representation Constants.
Length	long	Length of the value stored in the data element. If the stored value is a sequence, this value will be ELEMENT_LENGTH_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF).
hElement	long	Memory handle that can be used to uniquely identify a Data Element.

When a data set is loaded from a DICOM file, only the tag, the value representation and the length of the stored value data are actually loaded. This information is stored in the CurrentElement property. You can access and modify this data set information, add to the data set, or delete items from the data set.
