Problem updating older versions for dicom compliance

nRet = .InsertElement(False, &H102293, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_CS, True, 0)

If nRet = 0 Then

.StringValueCount = 1

.StringValues(0) = "L-8BB75"

.SetStringValue(1)

.StringValueCount = 0

End If


the above code gives me a general failure.

any ideas as to why?

Can you give me more details about the problem you are facing? Which version of LEADTOOLS (v14.x,v15, etc.) you are using? Can you isolate the problem using your code in a very small test project(not your full application)? If you managed to do that, please send me this project in a ZIP or RAR file.
Also, please mention what build number (version info) of LEADTOOLS DLLs you have.

I am using lead tools v.14

but let me state a better question.

what is the proper way to write a tag sequence using

LTDICLib.LeadDicomDS

(i.e. 'Anatomic Region Sequence', (0008,2218))

I have the following:

nRet = DicomDS.InsertElement(False, &H82218, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_SQ, True, 0)
If nRet = 0 Then

DicomDS.InsertElement(True, &H80100, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_SH, False, 0)
DicomDS.StringValueCount = 1
DicomDS.StringValues(0) = "T-45400"
DicomDS.SetStringValue(1)
DicomDS.StringValueCount = 0

DicomDS.SetCurrentElement(&H82218)

DicomDS.InsertElement(True, &H80102, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_SH, False, 1)

DicomDS.StringValueCount = 1
DicomDS.StringValues(0) = "T-45400"
DicomDS.SetStringValue(1)
DicomDS.StringValueCount = 0

DicomDS.SetCurrentElement(&H82218)

DicomDS.InsertElement(True, &H80104, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_LO, False, 2)

DicomDS.StringValueCount = 1
DicomDS.StringValues(0) = "T-45400"
DicomDS.SetStringValue(1)
DicomDS.StringValueCount = 0
DicomDS.SetCurrentElement(&H82218)
End If

nRet = DicomDS.InsertElement(False, &H110012, LTDICLib.DicomVRCodeConstants.VR_LO, False, 0)
If nRet = 0 Then
.StringValueCount = 1
.StringValues(0) = Extremity
.SetStringValue(1)
.StringValueCount = 0
End If



This complies and runs fine but when i try to validate my Dicom compliance it gives off lots of errors that are not there if this is not written

thanks

basically i think i need to specify the length of the sequence and the delitmiters, this is where i am getting the errors. If you could provide an example that generates a sequence for me that would be great.

You are passing hard-coded numbers to the SetCurrentElement method, which is incorrect. You should be passing an element handle there. Please see how our own demos use this method.
