Syntax

public abstract class TransformationRule<T> : TransformationRuleBase<T> where T : class

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the output

Remarks

Simple means that the transformation rule does not require a custom computation class

Constructors

TransformationRule()

Creates a new transformation rule

Declaration

public TransformationRule()

Properties

NeedDependenciesForOutputCreation

Gets a value indicating whether the output for all dependencies must have been created before this rule creates the output

Declaration

public override bool NeedDependenciesForOutputCreation { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Overrides

GeneralTransformationRule.NeedDependenciesForOutputCreation

Methods

CreateComputation(object[], IComputationContext)

Creates a new Computation instance for this transformation rule or the given input

Declaration

public override sealed Computation CreateComputation(object[] input, IComputationContext context)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object[]	input	The input arguments for this computation
IComputationContext	context	The context for this computation

Returns

Type	Description
Computation	A computation object

Overrides

GeneralTransformationRule.CreateComputation(object[], IComputationContext)

CreateOutput(object[], ITransformationContext)

Initializes the transformation output

Declaration

public virtual T CreateOutput(object[] input, ITransformationContext context)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object[]	input	The input of the transformation rule
ITransformationContext	context	The context (and trace!) object

Returns

Type	Description
T

Remarks

At this point, all the transformation outputs are created (also the delayed ones), thus, the trace is fully reliable

Transform(object[], T, ITransformationContext)

Creates the output of this transformation rule

Declaration

public virtual void Transform(object[] input, T output, ITransformationContext context)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object[]	input	The input of the transformation rule
T	output	The output of the transformation created previously
ITransformationContext	context	The context (and trace!) object

Remarks

At this point, not all of the computations have created their output and thus, the trace is not complete. Use the OutputDelayLevel-feature to have the trace contain all elements created in earlier levels
