Parameters

vecPosition VectorBase

Value of position.

DirectionExpression()

Initializes a new instance of the class.

public DirectionExpression()

Properties

Expression

Gets or sets the value of direction.

protected Direction Expression { get; set; }

Methods

GetSchema()

This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class.

public override XmlSchema GetSchema()

Returns

XmlSchema

An that describes the XML representation of the object that is produced by the method and consumed by the method.

IsParametric(enRefType)

Gets parametric.

public override bool IsParametric(Primitive.enRefType type)

Parameters

type Primitive.enRefType

Point picking type.

Returns

bool

If set to true is parametric; otherwise, false is none parametric.

LinkRequestUpdate(object, LinkEventArgs)

The update event occured from the linked object.

protected override void LinkRequestUpdate(object objNotifier, LinkEventArgs arg)

Parameters

objNotifier object

The linked object.

arg LinkEventArgs

The update event information.

ReadXml(XmlReader)

Generates an object from its XML representation.

public override void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)

Parameters

reader XmlReader

The XmlReader stream from which the object is deserialized.

Set(string)

sets the expression.

public void Set(string strDirection)

Parameters

strDirection string

Value of direction.

WriteXml(XmlWriter)

Converts an object into its XML representation.

public override void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)

Parameters

writer XmlWriter

The XmlWriter stream to which the object is serialized.
