Class StepVariableValue

Namespace

Hi.MachiningSteps

Assembly

HiMech.dll

The values a step variable written onto a step can hold in the step cache (the brief-into-DB chain's C4c): a number of any numeric type, stored as a double (a bool as 1 / 0, as the step-property registry reads it), or a string; anything else is not stored. A value written as an int reads back as a double, in memory and from the store alike.

Methods

AsDouble(object)

A stored value as a number: a double as itself, a string (and null) as no value.

public static double? AsDouble(object stored)

Parameters

stored object

The stored value.

Returns

double?

TryNormalize(object, out object)

The stored form of value: a double for a number or a bool, the string itself, null for null (a write of null takes the key back).

public static bool TryNormalize(object value, out object stored)

Parameters

value object

The value as written.

stored object

The stored form; null when value is null or not storable.

Returns

bool

false when the value is of a type a step cannot hold.
