I am creating an application for backups.
Most of the properties with multiple values didn't give me any problems, but "Email Notifications" type was integer (instead of string multiline). I was wondering how to interpret the property's value (e.g. when all checked -0, when first 2 checked - 4 and etc.)?
The Email notifications values are mapped to the binary format made by checking , unchecking the 3 checkboxes in the property.All checked boxes are considered as 0 and unchecked boxes are considered as 1.
For eg: Suppose all the 3 boxes are checked then it would correspond to "000" which is binary format of 0 and hence returns 0. If first 2 are checked it would be "100" ie binary value of 4.
See this blog which explains this in detail.
