Syntax

public abstract class Transformation

Properties

IsInitialized

Gets a value indicating whether the transformation has been initialized yet

Declaration

public bool IsInitialized { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsRulesRegistered

Gets a value indicating whether the transformation has registered its rules requirements

Declaration

public bool IsRulesRegistered { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

MaxOutputDelay

Gets the maximum output delay level

Declaration

public virtual byte MaxOutputDelay { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
byte

MaxTransformationDelay

Gets the maximum transformation delay level

Declaration

public virtual byte MaxTransformationDelay { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
byte

Patterns

Gets a collection of pattern objects used within the transformation

Declaration

public ICollection<ITransformationPattern> Patterns { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ICollection<ITransformationPattern>

Rules

Gets a collection of all rules of this transformation

Declaration

public IList<GeneralTransformationRule> Rules { get; }

Type	Description
IList<GeneralTransformationRule>

Methods

ComputeInstantiatingTransformationRulePath(Computation)

Computes the path of transformation rules for a given input

Declaration

public virtual Stack<GeneralTransformationRule> ComputeInstantiatingTransformationRulePath(Computation computation)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Computation	computation	The computation for which to compute the instantiating rule path

Returns

Type	Description
Stack<GeneralTransformationRule>	A stack of transformation rules that are involved with the output creation. The top element of the stack should be able to instantiate the output (i.e. must not be abstract)

CreateContext()

Creates a new transformation context

Declaration

public virtual ITransformationContext CreateContext()

Returns

Type	Description
ITransformationContext

CreateRules()

Creates the transformation rules for this transformation

Declaration

protected abstract IEnumerable<GeneralTransformationRule> CreateRules()

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<GeneralTransformationRule>	A collection of transformation rules

CreateRulesInternal()

Creates the rules of this transformation

Declaration

protected void CreateRulesInternal()

GetRuleForRuleType(Type)

Gets the rule with the specified type (exact match)

Declaration

public virtual GeneralTransformationRule GetRuleForRuleType(Type transformationRule)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Type	transformationRule	The type of the transformation rule

Returns

Type	Description
GeneralTransformationRule	The transformation rule with this type or null, if there is none

Remarks

This method assumes there is only one transformation rule per type

GetRuleForTypeSignature(Type[], Type)

Type	Description
GeneralTransformationRule	A random rule that has the given signature

GetRulesExact(Type[], Type)

Gets all rules that apply the given signature exactly

Declaration

public virtual IEnumerable<GeneralTransformationRule> GetRulesExact(Type[] input, Type output)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
