I'm going to loop through the fields of the record and get the size of each

No answers on this so I'm thinking maybe I need to use TManagedField^.FldOffset
to get the information I need about the field size. Is that correct way to get
the field size using record RTTI?
For the primitve types you need to know the sizes at compile time (e.g.
SizeOf(Word), SizeOf(LongInt), etc.) and check what type the field has
using the field list in the record's RTTI. You also have to keep in mind
that some types are grouped. E.g. tkInteger is for all integer types
that are smaller than 64-bit. The real type is then available as
TTypeData.OrdType and you need to handle that size accordingly. For
structured types like records the size is contained in the RTTI. The
FldOffset field is important to get the correct offset of a field,
because padding might be involved depending on the platform (except if
your record is "packed").
