Provides helper methods for a quantity.

Public Methods

Add	Adds the value from the IAgQuantity interface to this interface. Returns a new IAgQuantity. The dimensions must be similar.
ConvertToUnit	Changes the value in this quantity to the specified unit.
DivideQty	Divides the value from the IAgQuantity interface to this interface. The dimensions must be similar.
MultiplyQty	Multiplies the value from the IAgQuantity interface to this interface. Returns a new IAgQuantity. The dimensions must be similar.
Subtract	Subtracts the value from the IAgQuantity interface to this interface. Returns a new IAgQuantity. The dimensions must be similar.

Public Properties

Dimension	Gets the name of the dimension
Unit	The current Unit abbreviation.

Example

Calculate quantity addition (with IAgQuantity)

[C#] Copy Code

// Create a quantity representing a 3.1 mile/ 5 km fun run race 


IAgQuantity  race3mi = root.ConversionUtility.NewQuantity("Distance", "mi", 3.1); 


IAgQuantity  race5km = root.ConversionUtility.NewQuantity("Distance", "km", 5); 


 

// Add the two 3.1 mile/ 5 km runs 


IAgQuantity race10km = race5km.Add(race3mi); 


Console.Write("The {0} {1} race is also called a ", race10km.Value, race10km.Unit); 


 

// Convert 10k run to 6.2 mile run internally within the quantity 


race10km.ConvertToUnit("mi"); 

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} race", race10km.Value, race10km.Unit);

Calculate quantity addition (with IAgQuantity)

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

' Create
a quantity representing a 3.1 mile/ 5 km fun run race

Dim race3mi As IAgQuantity =
root.ConversionUtility.NewQuantity("Distance", "mi",
3.1)

Dim race5km As IAgQuantity =
root.ConversionUtility.NewQuantity("Distance", "km",
5)



' Add the two 3.1 mile/ 5 km runs

Dim race10km As IAgQuantity = race5km.Add(race3mi)

Console.Write("The {0} {1} race is also called
a ", race10km.Value, race10km.Unit)



' Convert 10k run to 6.2 mile run internally
within the quantity

race10km.ConvertToUnit("mi")

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} race",
race10km.Value, race10km.Unit)
