Entity.Get``1

Description:
Retrieves the value of the field in the entity.

Remarks:

The template parameter must match the type of the field (specified when creating the Schema) exactly; this method does not perform data type conversions. The types for containers are IList for arrays and IDictionary for maps.

This method is a shortcut that will look up the field by name. If you want to call it on many entities, it is faster if you look up the field yourself.
