Explore .NET data types: Primitive scalars, Collections (Lists, Dictionaries), and Enterprise types (DataTables, MailMessage).
Traditional / Ad-Hoc Approach
Manual human clicks, brittle unmanaged scripts, zero centralized control, and missing fault tolerance.
Enterprise UiPath Standard
Production-grade execution, dynamic Unified Target selectors, automated retry recovery, and centralized governance.
A comprehensive survey of .NET types in UiPath. Strong typing ensures data integrity, prevents runtime conversion crashes, and enables auto-completion. Key Sub-topics Breakdown: • Subtopic 1: Primitive Data Types: String, Int32, Double, Boolean, DateTime, and TimeSpan • Subtopic 2: Collections: Arrays (T[]), Generic Lists (List<T>), and Key-Value Dictionaries (Dictionary<TKey, TValue>) • Subtopic 3: Enterprise Automation Types: DataTable, DataRow, MailMessage, JObject, and SecureString In enterprise automation environments, Types of Variables guarantees reliable execution within the UiPath ecosystem. Key Sub-topics Breakdown: 1. Primitive Data Types: String, Int32, Double, Boolean, DateTime, and TimeSpan 2. Collections: Arrays (T[]), Generic Lists (List<T>), and Key-Value Dictionaries (Dictionary<TKey, TValue>) 3. Enterprise Automation Types: DataTable, DataRow, MailMessage, JObject, and SecureString
Working with enterprise data (dates, financial numbers, table records) requires choosing the exact correct type to avoid calculation precision loss.
Browse for Types dialog allows selecting any .NET CLR type from `mscorlib`, `System.Data`, `System.Net`, or imported third-party NuGet assemblies.
Zero unmanaged credentials, explicit timeout ceilings, and structured audit logging.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘At a global enterprise handling over 75,000 monthly transactions, operational teams implemented Types of Variables to resolve critical production bottlenecks:
Manual intervention caused processing delays and human error in mission-critical transactions.
Deployed Types of Variables with automated retry rules, dynamic error recovery, and end-to-end audit logging.
Eliminated 98% of manual touchpoints, achieved sub-second execution latency, and maintained 99.9% uptime.
