Symbol Structure |
Internal type that implements the VO Compatible SYMBOL type.
This type has many operators and implicit converters that normally are never directly called from user code.
There are also some operators that handle implicit conversions between Symbols and Strings in your code.

Remarks Tip |
|---|
| The SYMBOL type is included in the X# language and runtime for compatibility only. In most cases the type can and should be replaced with normal strings. |
